Jean-Louis Kralik
Jean-Louis Kralik (1813, Strasbourg – 1892, Tresserve) was a French botanist.[1]
He worked as a professor in Strasbourg, and for a period of time was curator of Philip Barker Webb's herbarium. From 1855 to 1885 he was curator of Ernest Cosson's herbarium. As a botanical collector, he conducted extensive investigation of North African flora on expeditions to Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt.[2] Kralik distributed herbarium specimens in three exsiccatae, namely Algae Schousboeanae, Plantes Corses 1849 and Reliquiae Mailleanae.[3]
The genus Kralikia (synonym Tripogon) was named in his honor by Cosson and Michel Charles Durieu de Maisonneuve.[4][5]
