Pierre Rebut was a French botanist who specialized in cacti. The genus Rebutia is named after him.[1] He was born in France in the year 1827 and died in the year 1902.[2] He was awarded a gold medal by the Côte-d'Or Society of Horticulture and Arboriculture for having a large collection of cacti.[3] In addition to cacti, his personal collection also included Crassula, Aloe, Agave, and Mesembryanthemum.[2] His collection was also considered noteworthy by the Lyonnais Horticultural Society due to the aforementioned wide variety of species and rarity of some of the plants.[2] He was the first person to describe Rebutia minuscula as a species.
