Timothée Puel

Jean Jacques Timothée Puel (August 22, 1813 – January 28, 1890) was a French physician and botanist.[1]

A practicing physician in Paris, he was a founding member of the Société botanique de France (1854).[2]

He is known for his investigations of flora native to the département of Lot, of which he published Catalogue des plantes qui croissent dans le département du Lot. Also, he issued a series of exsiccatae called Herbier du Lot.[3] The genus Puelia (family Gramineae) was named in his honor by Adrien René Franchet.[4]

gollark: Of course, it's possible that this is the wrong way to think about it, given that my brain is probably doing much more computation than a tablet powered by 5000 lemons thanks to a really optimized (for its specific task) architecture, and some hypothetical ultratech computer could probably do better.
gollark: I mean, it uses maybe 10W as far as I know (that's the right order of magnitude) so about as much as a tablet charger or 5000 lemons.
gollark: I *think* you'd only need 2500 lemons, wired in groups of 5.
gollark: It might actually be more reliable to host it on my spare Raspberry Pi 3B+ on terrible home interwebbernet uplinks powered by 2500 lemon batteries or something.
gollark: OH WAIT, RIGHT NOW.
