Emil Friedrich Knoblauch

Emil Friedrich Knoblauch (2 December 1864, Groß Karnitten in Kreis Mohrungen – 10 February 1936) was a German botanist.

He studied at the University of Königsberg, obtaining his PhD in 1888. Later, he was associated with the botanical garden and museum in Göttingen.[1]

He identified numerous species within the family Oleaceae, and was the taxonomic authority of the genera Leuranthus and Noldeanthus.[2]

Published works

He was editor of the sections on Oleaceae and Salvadoraceae in Engler and Prantl's Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien. In Eugenius Warming's Handbuch der systematischen botanik (A handbook of systematic botany), he authored a revision of the "Fungi" section(s). Other noteworthy written efforts by Knoblauch include:

  • Anatomie des holzes der laurineen, 1888 - Anatomy involving the wood of Laurineae.
  • Ökologische Anatomie der Holzpflanzen der südafrikanischen immergrünen Buschregion, 1896 - Ecological anatomy of woody plants of the South African evergreen bush region.[3]

gollark: The problem with spaces is that you can’t actually see them. So you can’t be sure they’re correct. Also they aren’t actually there anyway - they are the absence of code. “Anti-code” if you will. Too many developers format their code “to make it more maintainable” (like that’s actually a thing), but they’re really just filling the document with spaces. And it’s impossible to know how spaces will effect your code, because if you can’t see them, then you can’t read them. Real code wizards know to just write one long line and pack it in tight. What’s that you say? You wrote 600 lines of code today? Well I wrote one, and it took all week, but it’s the best. And when I hand this project over to you next month I’ll have solved world peace in just 14 lines and you will be so lucky to have my code on your screen <ninja chop>.
gollark: Remove the call stack and do trampolining or something?
gollark: Yes, I think this is possible.
gollark: (ethically)
