Nathalie A. Desjatova-Shostenko

Nathalie A. Desjatova-Shostenko (Ukrainian:Наталія Олексіївна Десятова-Шостенко,[1] Russian: Наталья Алексеевна Десятова-Шостенко[2]), later Nathalie A. Roussine, (1889-1968) was a French botanist noted for identifying at least 70 species of plants, many in the genus Thymus.[3][4][5]

The standard author abbreviations Des.-Shost. and Roussine are used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.[6]

Between 1925 and 1930, Natalie Shostenko was a director of Botany Department at Askania-Nova, after 1930 she then directed the Department of Geography at the Ukrainian Institute of Applied Botany. In 1944 she emigrated to France, due to return of the Soviet regime to Ukraine.

In 1932, botanist B.Fedtsch. published Nathaliella, a monotypic genus of flowering plants from Central Asia, belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae in her honour.[7]
