Armando Dugand (July 23, 1906 – 1971) was a Colombian botanist, geobotanist, and ornithologist.
Dugand's father, François Victor (or Francisco Víctor) Dugand, was a successful French banker; his mother was Reyes Geneco (or Gnecco) Coronado.[1] Dugand was educated in France and in the United States (at Albany Business College). In 1927 he married Sara Roncallo.
In 1940 he co-founded the scientific journal Caldasia.[2] He also founded two other scientific journals: Mutisia (Acta Botanica Colombiana) and Lozania (Acta Zoologica Colombiana).[1]
He was director of the Institute of Natural Sciences of the National University of Colombia from 1940 to 1953.
Dugand is commemorated in the scientific names of two snakes, Trilepida dugandi [2] and Scaphiodontophis annulatus dugandi.[3]
