My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Charles Louis 'The Heir of Brutelle' (1746 in Paris-1800) was a French magistrate of the XVIIIe century impassioned by botany. Prosecutor of the King to the Control of National Forestry Commission, then Adviser at the Court of the Assistances, his botanical work, scorned a little by his contemporaries, were recognized and developed by Willdenow (1765-1812) and De Candolle (1778-1841). Assassinated in 1800, he left an herbarium of approximately 8.000 species and a very important botanical library. He worked in particular on Géraniacées and published in 1792 a work entitled Geranologia, and defined the distinction between the three kinds Geranium, Pelargonium and Erodium.
