He was the son-in-law of botanist Louis Piré. His collection of herbarium specimens at his laboratories in Charleville was heavily looted and damaged during World War I. [1] The French Academy of Sciences awarded the 1893 "Prix Montague" to Cardot for his work on mosses. [2] [3] Cardot named 40 genera and 1200 species. [4]
