botanist and pharmacist. His son François Joseph Lestiboudois (1759-1815) and grandson Gaspard Thémistocle Lestiboudois
(1797-1876) were also botanists.
Lestiboudois studied pharmacy at a local hospital in
French army. From 1758, he served as an apothecary at the army headquarters of Bas-Rhin, during which time Lestiboudois studied plants that occurred in the vicinity of Cologne and Braunschweig.[1]
In 1770 he was appointed professor of botany by the magistrate of Lille, and from 1796 served as a professor of natural history at the École centrale du département du Nord à Lille.[1] As a professor he trained naturalist Palisot de Beauvois as a postgraduate.
Along with Pierre Riquet, Lestiboudois was editor of Pharmacopoeia, jussu Senatus insulensis tertiary edita. In 1774, he issued Carte de botanique, a botanical chart that combined the system of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort with that of Carl Linnaeus.[2]
