Biography
Austrian chemist and botanist who participated in the circumnavigation of the Novara (1857-1859) and described the algal collections. His surname is frequently cited as 'Grunow'. He was involved in the formation of Rabenhorst's diatom exsiccatae as a collector, preparator and determiner of specimens. Some of his Indonesian collections from the Novara expedition were contributed to the primarily European Die Algen Europa's.
