At the age of 14, Montagne joined the French navy, and took part in Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. In 1802 he returned to France to study medicine, and two years later became a military surgeon. In 1832, at the age of 48 he retired from military service to concentrate on the study of cryptogams (mosses, algae, lichens and fungi). In 1853 he was elected a member of the Académie des sciences.
In 1845 he was one of the first scientists (with Marie-Anne Libert[1]) to provide a description of Phytophthora infestans, a potato blight fungus he referred to as Botrytis infestans. Montagne is also known for investigations of mycological species native to Guyane.
He contributed numerous articles to the Archives de Botanique and the Annales des Sciences naturelles.
The fungal genera Montagnaea (DC., 1835) and Montagnites (Fr.) commemorate his name.[2][3][4] Also genera MontagnulaBerl., 1896, MontagninaHöhn. 1910, MontagnellinaHöhn. 1912 and CamontagneaPujals, 1981 were named in his honour.[5]
