Scientific achievements of Andre Maublanc, French naturalist mycologist of the first half of the 20th century.

The present note introduces the scientific achievements of Andre Maublanc (1880-1958) through a comprehensive biography, a yet unpublished list of his publications and of taxa he introduced grouped following localities of origin. Over one hundred titles pertaining to the fields of phytopathology and mycology were located. These notes of fundamental research are accompanied by titles of several basic and popular books that have been edited several times. These documents consider diseases of cultivated plants grown in temperate or tropical climates, the taxonomy of their fungal agents and of some other saprotrophs. The significant scientific production of Andre Maublanc and his marked teaching and popular treatises are behind the long established international status of this French naturalist of the first half of the 20th century.
