Adolf Engler

Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler (March 25, 1844 – October 10, 1930) was a German botanist. He is notable for his work on plant taxonomy and phytogeography, such as Die natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien (The Natural Plant Families), edited with Karl A. E. von Prantl.

Even now, his system of plant classification, the Engler system, is still used by many herbaria and is followed by writers of many manuals and floras. It is still the only system that treats all 'plants' (in the wider sense, algae to flowering plants) in such depth.

Engler published a prodigious number of taxonomic works. He used various artists to illustrate his books, notably Joseph Pohl (1864–1939), an illustrator who had served an apprenticeship as a wood-engraver. Pohl's skill drew Engler's attention, starting a collaboration of some 40 years. Pohl produced more than 33 000 drawings in 6 000 plates for Die naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien. He also illustrated Das Pflanzenreich (1900–1953), Die Pflanzenwelt Afrikas (1908–1910), Monographien afrikanischer Pflanzenfamilien (1898–1904) and the journals Engler's botanische Jahrbücher.

Current amplifier models

Steve Morse

The Steve Morse Signature 100 E656 is a 3 channel amp designed for and with Steve Morse, lead guitarist of Deep Purple. The amp is based on the ENGL Invader, omitting the two high gain channels to feature one extremely versatile lead channel. All three channels on the Steve Morse have an individual equaliser. The lead channel gives extended control over the midrange by means of two sets of mid controls; high mid 1, high mid 2, low mid 1 and low mid 2. The two sets are individually switchable and combined with the tone switch that allows for 8 different equaliser settings within the same channel.
Furthermore, the amp features two parallel effects loops, a noise gate, two master volume controls, tone- and gain switches for all channels.
