Cornelis Eliza Bertus Bremekamp

Cornelis Eliza Bertus Bremekamp (7 February 1888 in Dordrecht – 21 December 1984) was a Dutch botanist.[1]

He received his education at the University of Utrecht, and performed as a botanical researcher in Indonesia and South Africa. In South Africa he collaborated with German botanist Herold Georg Wilhelm Johannes Schweickerdt (1903-1977).

From 1924 to 1931 he was a professor at Transvaal University in Pretoria, where he conducted studies of the genus Pavetta. During this time period he collected plants from northern Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Mozambique. A portion of his career was spent at the herbarium in Utrecht, where he specialized in studies of Rubiaceae and Acanthaceae.

The Acanthaceae genus Bremekampia and the Rutaceae species Toddaliopsis bremekampii are named in his honour.

gollark: Intel decided to add tons of cores to their laptops without (allegedly) increasing the TDP, so clocks are bad.
gollark: Well, the most powerful one is the last one, since it appears to have a decent processor and GTX 1660, but obviously other stuff matters.
gollark: It has an actual dedicated GPU, might be better for gaming.
gollark: If you aren't doing heavy gaming, then I think basically anything with a decently sized SSD, good screen (1080p+, IPS), enough RAM, recent i5/R5 and up, and whatever other stuff you want should be okay.
gollark: Um, anyway, for gaming you probably want something with a dedicated GPU if possible.
