Notes From Joseph Decaisne's 'Le Jardin Fruitier du Muséum ou iconographie de toutes les espèces et variétés d'arbres fruitier cultivés dans cet établissement, avec leur description, leur histoire, leur synonymie' (Paris: F. Didot, 1862-1875).

Alfred Riocreux (1820-1912) was a French botanical artist. He was often compared to the prolific Sctottish botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch (1817-1892). Trained by his father, Riocreux displayed a talent for drawing and painting from a young age. It was through the botanist Adolphe Théodore Brongniart (1801-76), that Riocreux became interested in depicting botanical subjects, which led to him providing the illustrations for Joseph Decaisne's 'Le Jardin Fruitier du Muséum'.
