Graziela Maciel Barroso (1912-2003) was a Brazilian botanist noted for being a leading expert on the flora of Brazil, as well as a specialist of Compositae.[1][2] She was Chairman and Professor of the Department of Plant Biology at the University of Brasília, and published the three-volume Sistemática de Angiospermas do Brasil.[3]

Barroso identified over one hundred species, and two bromelieads have been named in her honor: Tillandsia grazielae and Tillandsia barrosoae.[4][5] Also 3 genera of plants have been named after her; Grazielanthus (from the family Monimiaceae),[6] Grazielia (from Asteraceae family),[7] and Grazielodendron (from Fabaceae family).[8][9]
