Biography

He received his doctorate in sciences at the University of Louvain.[1] Robyns spent two long stays at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, travelled in central Africa and performed taxonomic work on many groups of tropical African plants, amongst others: Rubiaceae, grasses and legumes.[2]

From 1931 to 1966 he served as director of the Jardin Botanique National de Belgique (National Botanic Garden of Belgium),[1] where he shaped the transfer of the institute from the site in Brussels to the Bouchout Domain in Meise.

He was the initiator of a monographic flora series for central Africa, still continued today ("Flore d'Afrique centrale"). From 1959 to 1964 he was president of the International Association for Plant Taxonomy.[1]

Eponymy

Abbreviation
gollark: With Express.js the server thing would look *very roughly* like this:```javascriptconst express = require("express")const multer = require("multer")const app = express()const upload = multer({ storage: multer.memoryStorage(), limits: { fileSize: 2**22 // 4MiB maximum filesize }})app.get("/image", (req, res) => { res.send(loadImageFromSomewhere())})// send upload form HTML - you would need to write this tooapp.get("/upload", (req, res) => res.sendFile("upload.html"))app.post("/upload", upload.single("file"), (req, res) => { saveImageSomewhere(req.file.buffer)})app.listen(8700, () => console.log("listening")) // listen on port 8700```
gollark: I mean, you could use PHP too. I don't like it. But you could.
gollark: What I might do, though there are probably many ways to: make a program in Node.js or whatever (personal preference) which responds with whatever image is set to any requests for that, and which allows you to upload an image, converts it to the right format, then saves it to be sent when the ESP requests it.
gollark: And you want to be able to upload pictures to some sort of web thing to send to the ESP?
gollark: That... sounds possible though I don't know exactly what you mean.
