Clément Rodier

[1][2] Originally a member of the Brothers of the Annunciation at Misserghin in Algeria, he helped to run an orphanage.This graft resulted in the clementine, which was named in honor of its creator.[1] Brother Marie-Clément's new variety was "a species of mandarin, which won the admiration of connoisseurs and which the orphans christened the Clementine.Its fruit was redder than a mandarin and had a delicious taste and, moreover, it had no pith".In 2010, a building on the campus of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was named Clement Hall in honor of Brother Marie-Clément.
Brother Clément was buried in Misserghin near Oran .
