Josef Velenovský

Josef Velenovský (22 April 1858 – 7 May 1949) was a Czech botanist, mycologist, pteridologist, and bryologist. He also worked with fossils. He was a research investigator and professor in the Botanical Institute of the University of Prague, alternating with his colleague Ladislav Josef Čelakovský. He was also professor of botany at Charles University, where he concentrated in the study of mycology in final half of his life. Velenovský collected innumerable material, particularly in new central Bohemia, and described at least 2000 species of fungi.[1] Many of his type specimens and other collections are located in the herbarium of the Národní Museum of Prague.[2]

gollark: Actually, CBOR literals.
gollark: Vowels are ignored when comparing symbol names. The float type is replaced with a ratio of two decimals. Macros but they require you to rewrite the block of code they're used in as lisp syntax. JSON literals.
gollark: Maybe… even weaker types? Integer types with crazier names and also u24s and stuff for some reason? Do operator overloading to a stupid degree in the stdlib?
gollark: Idea: C-flat language, like C but stupider somehow.
gollark: Clearly what we need is C with better macros, so that "extensions" are no longer necessary.
