French mineralogist and geologist whose Minéraux des roches (1888; "The Minerals of Rocks"), written with the geologist Albert Michel-Lévy, was a pioneer study of the optical properties of rock-forming minerals.
Candolle achieved extensive subdivision of flowering plants, describing 161 families of dicotyledons, and demonstrated decisively the inadequacy of Linnaean classification, which his system supplanted.
Candolle also contributed to agronomy and the linking of soil type with vegetation.

De Candolle was wont to excuse himself for leaving medicine by saying, "If I make a mistake in naming a plant, I can set it right." Influential friends wondered that a man of his talents should spend his time running about France gathering plants.
After holding various positions De Candolle settled down in a professorship at Geneva, where he accumulated a large herbarium and wrote several botanical treatises.
De Candolle was a close reader of Linnaeus' works, but adopted the classification of Ray and Jussieu.

While studying at Angouleme he came across a copy of Augustin Pyrame de Candolle’s Flore francaise, and he became interested in the analytical tables for identifying plants.
Bentham’s first publication was his Catalogue des plantes indignes des Pyrenies et du Bas Languedoc (Paris, 1826), the result of a careful exploration of the Pyrenees in company with G. Walker Arnott (1799 - 1868), afterwards professor of botany in the university of Glasgow.
It is interesting to notice that in it Bentham adopted the principle from which he never deviated, of citing nothing at second-hand.

It is by no means a ‘mere side glance of the poet into a strange field’ as Augustin Pyrame de Candolle (1778-1841) stated, but the result of a thorough, laborious study of a topic that has intrigued Goethe’s mind well before his famous Italian Journey in 1786-1788.
As Cassirer writes it: “To Cuvier or Candolle 'type' was an expression of definite and basic constant relationships in the structure of living things that are fixed and unalterable and upon which all knowledge of them depends.
Candolle insisted that the disposition of the parts was the most important factor for the establishment of the plan of symmetry of a plant.

O aforismo comumente citado como "a função faz o órgão" provém desses conceitos de Diderot e de Lamarck, e encerra uma noção contraditória, uma vez que se a função é definida como ação peculiar a um órgão, tecido ou célula, não se concebe antes de existir o órgão correspondente.

Augustin Pyrame de Candolle recorded one exceeding 10 m in girth, the age being supposed to amount to seven centuries.
Some old Italian olives have been credited with an antiquity reaching back to the first years of the empire, or even to the days of republican Rome; but the age of such ancient trees is always doubtful during growth, and their identity with old descriptions still more difficult to establish.

One of the early Supporters of this natural method was Augustin Pyrame De Candolle, who was born in 1778, and who, after attending the lectures of Vaucher at Geneva, devoted himself to botanical pursuits.
The system followed by De Candolle is a modification of that of Jussieu, and it is adopted more or less at the present day.
