French botanist
Jean-Louis Kralik

Jean-Louis Kralik (1813, Strasbourg – 1892, Tresserve) was a French botanist.

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. Kralik distributed herbarium specimens in three exsiccatae, namely Algae Schousboeanae, Plantes Corses 1849 and Reliquiae Mailleanae.

The genus Kralikia (synonym Tripogon) was named in his honor by Cosson and Michel Charles Durieu de Maisonneuve.
