Anne-Marie Homolle (1912-2006),[1] was a French botanist noted for studying and collecting plants of Madagascar.[2][3][4][1] She identified at least 260 species of plants native to Madagascar, and two genera were named in her honor: Homollea (in the family Rubiaceae[5]) and Homolliella (now a synonym of Paracephaelis Baill.[6]).[7][8]

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