Leo Lesquereux (1806-1889), born in Fleurier, Switzerland, emigrated to America with his family in 1847 and settled in Columbus, Ohio. In the 1830s, he became deaf due to an illness. As a bryologist (expert on mosses and liverworts) and palaeobotanist, he assisted Louis Agassiz with the botanical part of his journey to Lake Superior and completed his work on American mosses after William Sullivant's death in 1873.
