André Michaux introduced several Old World plants to America, such as the crape myrtle, tea plant, and camellia. He described North American plant species such as the bigleaf magnolia and introduced them to Europe. He also wrote two books on his botanical experiences—Histoire des chênes de l’Amérique (1801; “Natural History of the Oaks of America”) and Flora Boreali-Americana (1803; “The Flora of North America”).
