The Royal Botanical expedition to the Viceroyalty of Peru was an 18th-century Spanish expedition to
the territories of the Viceroyalty of Peru, Ecuador, and Chile. Hipólito Ruiz and José Pavón were the
two botanists in charge of the expedition. Between 1777 and 1778, Ruiz and Pavón collected 3,000
specimens, produced over 2,200 drawings, and ultimately published 1,900 descriptions and 658
drawings. The materials collected and documented during the expedition identified many new
species, a number of which are named for Ruiz and Pavón, and contextualize the expedition and its
pharmacological interest in New World plants.
