He studied medicine in Montpellier and Rheims, completing his studies in 1779. He spent two years from 1784 in England where he looked at exotic plants cultivated there. During this period he made the acquaintance of Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society, and James Edward Smith, later the founding President of the Linnean Society. In 1791 Labillardière was appointed naturalist in Recherche, a French naval vessel which, under the command of Joseph-Antoine Bruny d'Entrecasteaux and accompanied by Espérance, embarked on an expedition to find traces of Jean-François de La Pérouse. The expedition visited the southern coast of New Holland, Van Diemen's Land, and a number of Pacific islands, but found no trace of La Pérouse. On the journey home, political dissention within the crews resulted in the republicans (including Labillardière) being imprisoned and the scientific collections confiscated. On finally returning to Europe in 1795, he discovered his specimens (which included over 4,000 plants, most unknown, as well as fish, birds and insects) were in England as the prizes of war. With the intervention of Banks these were ultimately returned to Labillardière. The results of his examination of these plant specimens were published in Novae hollandiae plantarum specimen (1804-7). Most of these specimens are now in the Museo di Storia Naturali di Firenze. The endemic Australian plant genus Billardiera (Pittosporaceae) was named in his honour. 1782 1784 Life event - Visited England 1787 1788 Life event - Travelling in the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East 1791 1794 Botanist in Recherche on expedition commanded by Bruni D'Entrecasteaux 1792 1792 Award - Elected Corresponding Member, L'Academie royale des Sciences, Paris 1799 1799 Taxonomy event - Eucalyptus cornuta Labill. 1799 1799 Taxonomy event - Eucalyptus globulus Labill. 1806 1806 Taxonomy event - Eucalyptus cordata Labill. 1806 1806 Taxonomy event - Eucalyptus incrassata Labill. 1806 1806 Taxonomy event - Eucalyptus ovata Labill. 1806 1806 Taxonomy event - Eucalyptus viminalis Labill. 1806 1806 Taxonomy event - Eucalyptus amygdalina Labill. 1816 1816 Award - Elected Foreign Member, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Riche, Claude-Antoine-Gaspard (1762 - 1797) Smith, James Edward (1759 - 1828)
