Biography


His botanical career began very early. At 18, he penned a work on the local flora of the Haute-Saône, currently on display at the Natural History Museum of Gray. He collected plants for study in Algeria and Morocco between 1902 and 1904.[3] After obtaining his PhD in 1905, he was a professor of botany at the Faculty of Sciences in Algiers starting in 1911 where he specialised in phytopathology. He was put in charge of botanical research by the Moroccan government and was responsible for botanical studies in the Central Sahara. He was a member of a number of institutions, including the Société mycologique de France and the Société d'histoire naturelle de la Moselle based in Metz, which he joined in 1897 at the start of his career.[3] He was the author of numerous works, including important contributions between 1918 and 1931 on the flora of North Africa. He ended his career as the Rector of the University of Algiers. His magnum opus was The Flora of North Africa, a 16-volume work published posthumously in 1953.



Named species


Among species he named or renamed are:




  • Amanita codinae (Maire) Singer


  • Argyrocytisus battandieri (Maire) Raynaud


  • Campanula monodiana Maire


  • Gymnopilus sapineus (Fr.) Maire


  • Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca (Wulfen: Fr.) Maire


  • Hygrophorus reai Maire


  • Hypomyces vuilleminianus Maire


  • Laccaria bicolor (Maire) P.D. Orton


  • Lentinellus vulpinus (Fr.) Maire & Kühner


  • Psathyrella candolleana (Fr.) Maire


  • Psathyrella hydrophila (Fr.) Maire


  • Xeromphalina campanella (Bataille: Fr.) Maire & Kühner


He also erected the family Paxillaceae, noting its affinities with boletes, in 1902, based on anatomical similarities.[4] This was confirmed many years later by molecular studies firmly placing the genera Paxillus and Gyrodon at the base of the clade containing the members of the genus Boletus.[5]



Legacy


The French Academy of Sciences awarded him the Prix Montagne for 1903.[6]


Several species were named in his honour, including fungi such as the beechwood sickener (Russula mairei), René Maire's ringless Amanita (Amanita mairei) from Egypt,[7]Clitocybe mairei, Conocybe mairei, Clavicorona mairei, Cortinarius mairei, Galerina mairei, Hemimycena mairei, and Lactarius mairei, among others, as well as some North African plants such as the ornamental grass Atlas fescue (Festuca mairei).[8] The genus Mairetis (Boraginaceae) is also named after him.


The standard author abbreviation Maire is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[9]

Species names for Maire typically end in mairei.

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
