Karl Suessenguth

Karl Suessenguth (22 June 1893, Münnerstadt – 7 April 1955, Ischia) was a German botanist.

He studied under Karl Ritter von Goebel at the University of Munich, where in 1927 he became a professor of botany. From 1927 to 1955 he was curator of the Botanische Staatssammlung München.[1] The standard author abbreviation Suess. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[2]

As a taxonomist, he classified many plants within the family Amaranthaceae.[3] The botanical genera Suessenguthia (family Acanthaceae) and Suessenguthiella (family Molluginaceae) commemorate his name.[1][4]

Written works

He was an editor of the multi-volume Illustrierte Flora von Mittel-Europa (Illustrated Flora of Central Europe) and the author of the following works:

gollark: Although it actually has some nice stuff, such as the syntax, `let` and `var` keywords (I always wanted a language to do this), and the macrons.
gollark: Perhaps my problem with Nim is that in some ways, it's designed like *I* would do it, i.e. they basically went for comparatively low-effort technically working solutions, joined them together, and got something technically working out.
gollark: As far as I can tell, it basically just dispatches callbacks in an event loop thingy.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: I don't know if Nim actually has "async task things", but Rust async does.
