Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon
Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon (5 June 1818, in Padua – 8 April 1897, in Milan) was an Italian botanist who specialized in cryptogamic flora.
During his career, he was a professor of natural history in Padua. In 1882 he was named president of the Accademia fisio-medica-statistica in Milan.[1][2] In 1848 he circumscribed the genus Romanoa (family Euphorbiaceae) [3] and in 1861 named the genus Speerschneidera (family Bacidiaceae).[4][5] Also, he is the taxonomic authority of the fern genera Blechnopteris, Neurosorus and Oligocampia.[6]

gollark: And despite randomly breaking in bizarre ways, living stuff has much better self-repair than any human designs.
gollark: No human could come up with the really optimized biochemistry we use and make it work as well as evolution did, so in that way it's more "intelligent".
gollark: Intelligence is poorly defined, really.
gollark: There are also things like how eyes are somewhat backward, food/water and air use the same pipes, there is no conscious diagnostics capability, the immune system sometimes randomly declares war on body parts it doesn't like, and the head/neck is a ridiculous vulnerability.
gollark: Worrying.
