During the course of five years that began on 24 April 1834, he collected several new species of plants and animals including the Wynaad Laughingthrush which he collected on the slopes of the Nilgiris and was named by Thomas C. Jerdon as Garrulax delesserti in his honour.
The species is named after Benjamin Delessert and was described on the basis of a specimen collected by Adolphe Delessert in the Nilgiris.
Adolphe Delessert who discovered the species in the Nilgiris noted that it tended to be found along riverine forests and that it was hard to capture.
