  Some of Philippe Flajolet's combinatorial contributions that he wrote between
1976 and 1995, say, are described. In most of Flajolet's papers,
asymptotic/analytic considerations play a major role. To be true to the spirit
of the journal ECA, the emphasis is on the \emph{combinatorial} part.
  Covered are Register function of binary trees, approximate counting, digital
search trees and the Rice formula, probabilistic counting, adding a new slice,
Ramanujan's influence, finite differences and harmonic numbers, Digits and the
Mellin-Perron formula.
