Giorgio Gallesio (in English and French sources Georges Gallesio, 23 May 1772 – 30 November 1839[1][2][3]) was an Italian botanist and researcher of the 18th and 19th centuries, specializing in citrus.[4][5] His famous book Traité du citrus was first printed in 1811 and reprinted in 1826 due to its popularity.[6] In this work, he presented his findings that hybrids are offspring of outcross pollination and not due to grafting as previously thought.[7] He also studied the family barriers affecting species compatibility and gave a good account of the history and distribution of citrus. He was widely cited in many works of his day,[8] and also in The Citrus Industry book, by Webber, Batchelor and others.[9]

The standard author abbreviation Gallesio is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[10]
