^ Henri Galeotti was bom in France in 1814. He sailed from Hamburg for 

 Mexico in 1835, reaching Veracruz in December. He spent six months at 

 Jalapa, collecting living plants, especially orchids. He passed on to Vigas and 

 Perote, and finally Puebla and Mexico. He botanized at various times in the 

 state of Mexico, part of the time in company with Ehrenberg. In 1835 he 

 spent two or three months in Hidalgo. At the end of that year he visited 

 Queretaro and later Jalisco and Tepic, and in 1837 Guanajuato. He ascended 

 Popocatepetl in June, 1837; in July he visited Michoacan, and in December 

 Aguascalientes and San Luis Potosi. In April, 1838, he returned to Veracruz 

 and made his headquarters at the German colony at Mirador. In August of that 

 year, in company with Funck, Linden, and Ghiesbreght, he ascended the Pico 

 de Orizaba, remaining with his companions for 11 days in a cavern on the 

 mountain. In 1839 he visited Puebla and Oaxaca. In 1840 he returned to 

 Europe, where he become director of the Botanical Garden of Brussels. He 

 died in 1858. Descriptions of some of the new species discovered were pub- 

 lished by himself and Martens in the Bulletin de I'Acad^mie Royale de Belgique.
