Jonathan Carl (or Karl) Zenker (1 March 1799 – 6 November 1837) was a German naturalist born in Sundremda, located in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district. Originally a student of theology at the University of Jena, he subsequently devoted his energies to science and medicine. From 1823 he lived in Dresden, later returning to Jena, where on the basis of his dissertation "Batrachomyologia", he became a privat-docent of natural history. In 1828 he became an associate professor of botany and natural history,〔(Pierer's Universal-Lexicon, 19th Volume Altenburg, 1865, pp. 574 ) (biography)〕 followed by a full professorship in 1836 (one year prior to his death at the age of 38). A genus of grasses called ''Zenkeria'' is named in his honour.〔(CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms ) ... by Umberto Quattrocchi〕 == Selected writings == * ''Musci Thuringici: vivis exemplaribus exhibuerunt et illustraverunt'', 1821–1823 (with David Nathanael Friedrich Dietrich 1799–1888). * ''Die Pflanzen und ihr wissenschaftliches Studium überhaupt : ein botanischer Grundriss zum Gebrauche academischer Vorträge und zum Selbststudium'', 1830 - Scientific study of plants in general, etc. * ''Zwei neue fossile Corallenarten'', 1833 - Two new fossil coral-types. * ''Beiträge zur Naturgeschichte der Urwelt.
