Alphonse Maille (1813 in Rouen – 30 September 1865 in Paris) was a French botanist.
In Paris, he studied botany under Adrien-Henri de Jussieu and worked on exsiccatae with Timothée Puel.[1][2] In 1854 he was a founding member of the Société botanique de France.[3]
During his career he assembled an important herbarium of approximately 1000 packages that contained about 60,000 species.[2] After his death, botanist Jean-Louis Kralik published a catalog of Maille's collections as "Catalogue Des Reliquiae Mailleanae" (1869) [4] and distributed his specimens as exsiccata Reliquiae Mailleanae.[5]
In 1842 the grass genus Maillea (synonym Phleum, family Poaceae) was named in his honor by Filippo Parlatore.[6][7]
