Baret collected more than 6000 plant specimens but was never properly credited at the time. She was later given the recognition she deserved. In 2012, the newly discovered South American species Solanum baretiae, was named in her honor.
The Prince of Nassau-Siegen, a nobleman who was also part of Bougainville’s expedition, mentionioned the stress and dangers she had to face during the expedition. He wrote, “I want to give her all the credit for her bravery.” No barriers could stop Baret from pursuing her dreams, and her fearlessness lives on. |
