This article gives a brief overview of various French Linnean societies,
particularly the two based in Paris:
Société Linnéenne de Paris
(which had been founded in
1788, gone dormant around 1790, revived from 1820 to about 1833), and
Société Linnéenne de Paris (founded in
1866, ceased early in the 20th century);
evidently not considered a resurrection of the former, in spite of having
identical names.
