August Gremli
August Gremli (15 March 1833 – 30 March 1899) was a Swiss physician and botanist born in Kreuzlingen.
He studied medicine in Berlin and Munich, and afterwards, trained as a pharmacist in Karlsruhe. From 1876, he worked as a curator in the herbarium of botanist Émile Burnat (1828-1920) in Nant, located near the town of Vevey. He died in Kreuzlingen on March 30, 1899.
Gremli published several works on Swiss flora, including Excursionsflora für die Schweiz (1867), a book that was later translated into English. In addition, he collaborated with Burnat on a number of essays involving flora from the Maritime Alps.
