Jean-Baptiste Payer (1818 – 1860) was among the pioneer botanists who promoted ontogeny as a clue to understanding the morphological nature and affinities of floral parts. He can be rightly seen as the father of floral developmental studies. His work provides a solid scientific basis for understanding the processes involved in the differentiation of flowers. Despite being pre-Darwinian, his research demonstrates the potential for evolutionary changes in flowers, in the context of the understanding of angiosperm classification at that time. Many of Payer’s ideas are still up-to-date and his observations are of great value in contemporary studies. In addition to botany, Payer had a lightning career in politics starting from the 1848 revolution. First a rioter, he then served two terms in the Constituent Assembly, before going back to science in 1852.
