Flora Huayaquilensis
''Flora Huayaquilensis'' is the popular name for the body of work produced by botanist Juan José Tafalla Navascués while he was in South America. Navascués made one of the first expeditions to South America with a Spaniard who documented plants of the area. His unpublished works were kept in the archives for 200 years.
