Jean Charles Marie Grenier

Jean Charles Marie Grenier (1808–1875) was a French botanist who was a professor of botany to the Faculty of Sciences at Besançon.

Grenier is credited with the description of hundreds of botanical species, many of them in collaboration with Dominique Alexandre Godron (1807–1880), a professor of natural history at Nancy. With Prof. Godron he published a three-volume work on French flora called Flore de France (1848–1856). Grenier was also author of Flore de la châine jurassique (Flora of the Jura Mountain chain).

The standard author abbreviation Gren. is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.^[1]
