Birbal Sahni

Birbal Sahni ( à Behra, district de Shahpur, Pendjab, Empire des Indes – à Lucknow, Inde) est un paléobotaniste indien qui a étudié les fossiles du sous-continent indien ; c'est aussi un géologue qui s'est intéressé à l'archéologie. Il a fondé le Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany[1] à Lucknow, Inde. Ses contributions les plus importantes portent sur la botanique des plantes de l'Inde[2], il a aussi publié en paléobotanique[3] - [4]. En plus d'avoir écrit de nombreux articles importants dans ces domaines, il a aussi occupé le poste de président de la National Academy of Sciences, India (en) et a été président honoraire du Congrès international de botanique tenu à Stockholm en 1950.
