Julien's farm, named Rose Cottage,
contained over 300 species and 20,000
specimens of Texas flora. Most of these
were displayed in cabinets and about the
walls of his home.
While surfing the internet for more information I
ran across a picture of a plant Julien found near
Comanche Peak and is named for him. During
his life Julien had many plants named after him
in honor of his work. E.D.Dalea Reverchonii (Comanche Peak Prairie Clover)
Before Julien died he became
widely known and
recognized as a great
naturalist and botanist. His
collection went to the Shaxx
Gardens of the Missouri
Botanical Gardens in St.
Louis, Missouri, upon hip
death. The George B. Dcale
Library at the Dallas
Historical Society also has
some of his specimens in
their collections..:4 :" :. : i , ~~~~~~~:..: .:...:. ':. . ... ':::... ..:? { .::-:.
