Under Charles III of Spain Gómez de Ortega directed the formation of the Royal Botanical Garden as a place, in particular, to collect and study the new species of plants being identified by European explorers. Gómez de Ortega published extensively on plant species, and on the economic botany of plants collected during Spanish sponsored explorations of South America. He described the genera ''Echeandia'' (Anthericaceae), ''Maurandya'' (Plantaginaceae), ''Pascalia'' (Asteraceae), and ''Sesamoides'' (Resedaceae). The genus ''Gomortega'', a tree endemism, endemic to Chile, is named after him. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1777. References External links Casimiro Gómez Ortega.

Marshall Conring Johnston
Marshall Conring Johnston (born May 10, 1930) is an American botanist who made several explorations in Mexico and specialized in plants in the family Gesneriaceae. Johnston was born in San Antonio in the family of Theodore Harris Johnston and Lucile Mary Conring. He went on his first botanical expeditions to Mexico while still in high school during 1945-1947. On those trips he visited the northern Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Durango, and Zacatecas. From 1972-1974 he made trips to Chihuahua, concentrating on desert flora. These early 1970s trips resulted in the bulk of his botanic collection. Marshal participated in the creation of the books ''Flora of Texas'', ''Flora of North America'', and ''Flora Neotropica''. Johnston was also a professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
