Gustave Beauverd (1867–1942) was a Swiss botanist, specializing in Pteridophytes, Bryophytes, and Spermatophytes.[1]

For a period of time he worked at the "Herbier Bossier",[2] and is remembered for his investigations of the genus Melampyrum.[3] He was a co-author of the series "Icones florae Alpinae plantarum",[4] and the author of many works on diverse botanical subjects. In 1931 he became a member of the Société botanique de France.[5]

He is the taxonomic authority of the genera Berroa, Parantennaria, Psychrophyton and Stuckertiella.[6] The genus Beauverdia (family Alliaceae) was named after him by Wilhelm Gustav Franz Herter,[7] and plants with the specific epithet of beauverdiana honor him,[8] examples being Acacia beauverdiana and Photinia beauverdiana
