Spencer Le Marchant Moore

Spencer Le Marchant Moore (1 November 1850 – 14 March 1931) was an English botanist.

Biography

Moore was born in Hampstead. He worked at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, from about 1870 to 1879, wrote a number of botanical papers, and then worked in an unofficial capacity at the Natural History Museum from 1896 until his death.

He was involved in an expedition to remote parts of Western Australia from December 1894 to October 1895, travelling from Goldfields–Esperance to places like Siberia Soak—near Waverley—and Goongarrie.[1]

Moore is commemorated in the plant genus Spenceria.[2]

gollark: Last week I overhauled potatOS's peripheral handling for increased performance and fewer peripheral calls.
gollark: The performance considerations of the projects I work on are mostly dominated by I/O (peripheral calls and stuff) more than CPU use so it doesn't really matter but it would be nice to know.
gollark: I just do `for k, v in pairs(tbl)`, how is the performance of that?
gollark: Otherwise you could `ATTACH DATABASE ../1/database.db` or something and access other databases.
gollark: You need to block this sort of thing.
