Biography

Lebrun studied colonial agronomic sciences (University of Louvain) and, after training in the Botanic Garden, botanical sciences. He went to the Congo in 1929 as an agronomic engineer. He went on to crisscross the country for two decades. In 1930 he travelled to Kasongo-Lunda to study Encephalartos laurentianus, and between 1937 and 1938 he explored the Albert Nature Park. He is the author of a monograph on Coffea in the Congo as well as many other botanical works, especially about the rainforest. From 1948 he taught at the University of Louvain. 18,000 specimens are kept at Meise Botanic Garden. (Source: Botanic Garden Meise : https://www.plantentuinmeise.be/en/pQBWEUj/important-collectors)
