Life and work

Bulliard studied in Langres, then in a pen of Clairvaux and in Paris. He also practiced as a physician. He was a follower of Jean -Jacques Rousseau.

In his work, the Dictionnaire de botanique élémentaire (1783 ), he contributed to the spread and consolidation of botanical terminology and the Linnaean system. In the field of mycology ( mycology ) is his Tafelwerk significant, with which he has presented to 393 from a total of 602 boards mushrooms. Many of the colored mushroom pictures are important for the classification system, since they were selected as Iconotypen of species names. The work belongs to the large hand-colored plate books of the late 18th century and was of great importance for developed at this time new systematic methods.

Many species and genera were named in the sequence after Bulliard.
