Jean Jacques Kickx
Jean Jacques Kickx (27 January 1842, Ghent – 27 March 1887, Ghent) was a Belgian botanist. His father, Jean Kickx (1803–1864), and grandfather, also named Jean Kickx (1775–1831), were both botanists.[1]
He was educated in Ghent and Bonn, obtaining his doctorate of sciences in 1863. In 1867 he was appointed professor of botany at the University of Ghent as well as director of the botanical garden and school of horticulture. In 1879 he became president of the Société royale de botanique de Belgique, and in 1887 was named rector of the university.[2]
