Juan José Tafalla Navascués, a Spanish pharmacist, explored botany in Peru, Chile and Ecuador from 1780 to 1788 as part of the Expedición Botánica al Virreinato del Perú under the direction of Hipólito Ruiz López y José Pavón. Eduardo Estrella discovered the unpublished manuscripts of Tafalla's work, including beautiful paintings, in the Real Jardín Botánico archives in Madrid, and edited them for first publication roughly 200 years after they were created.
