| description | Revue de Botanique Appliquée was founded in 1924 by Auguste Chevalier, director of the colonial agriculture laboratory of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, in Paris. This article recontextualizes the foundation of the journal within the scientific journey of its founder and, within the history of the Museum. We discuss the study of “useful plants” from the origins of the Museum in the Royal Garden for medicinal plants, and then in its various services related to botany and agriculture. More generally, we contextualize the experience of the Paris Museum within an international historical framework, recalling the emergence of various currents such as economic botany, ethnobotany, ethnoecology, ethnoscience and finally ethnobiology. This international journey begins with the inventory of useful plants all the way to the study of human societies in relation to their environments. A diversity of approaches and terminologies emerges in the various academic centers, approaches which, however, interpenetrate and influence each other. |
