Jean-Pierre Édouard Grimard (17 April 1827 - 24 March 1909) was a French writer, educator, and botanist.
[4] On one occasion in 1849, Edouard, Élisée, and Élie walked from Montauban to the Mediterranean Sea without taking authorised leave from the school - leading, in part, to the expulsion of the Reclus brothers from the school.
[8] Grimard was recorded as a witness to the birth of Élisée Reclus's first daughter on June 12, 1860, in Paris.
Grimard wrote in journals including the Revue des Deux Mondes and the Magasin d'éducation et de récréation, publishing numerous works on botany.
[11][12] The writer Jules Verne used Grimard's work The Plant to discuss Australian flora as part of his novel In Search of the Castaways.
