Paul Rohrbach (botanist)

Paul Rohrbach (June 9, 1846 – June 6, 1871) was a German botanist born in Berlin. He wrote on orchids before dying in his 20s.

Background

Rohrbach studied the sciences at the University of Göttingen, where one of his instructors was August Grisebach. He later studied botany under Alexander Braun at the University of Berlin. Braun was an important influence on Rohrbach's research in the fields of comparative morphology and systematics.

While a student Rohrbach published a work on the orchid genus Epipogium titled Über den Blüthenbau und die Befruchtung von Epipogium Gmelini. He was also the author of a treatise on the genus Silene called Monographie der Gattung Silene. He died in Berlin of lung disease a few days before his 25th birthday.

gollark: I think quite a lot of tutorials will be HTML and CSS together, which is helpful.
gollark: HTML is probably good to learn, although it's a markup language, not a programming one.
gollark: CSS is important for styling webpages, HTML is for... well, content, mostly, JS for interactivity on the client side (and server now).
gollark: Eh. It's improved. Still problematic though, but I like it.
