José Antonio Pavón Jiménez or José Antonio Pavón (April 22, 1754 in Casatejada, Cáceres, Spain – 1840 in Madrid) was a Spanish botanist known for researching the flora of Peru and Chile.
Biography
During the reign of Charles III of Spain, three major botanical expeditions were sent to the New World; Pavón and Hipólito Ruiz López were the botanists for the first of these expeditions, to Peru and Chile from 1777 to 1788.[2] The genus Pavonia was named in his honor by his contemporary, Spanish botanist Antonio José Cavanilles[3] — plants with the specific epithet of pavonii also commemorate his name.[4]
