[The botanical work of Antonio Parra]
1Centro de Estudios de Historia de la Ciencia y la Tecnología, La Habana, Cuba.
Abstract:
Our goal is to study the work carried out by the Cuban naturalist Antonio Parra between 1790-1792, that didn't limit to the making of herbariums and to the shipment of plants and seeds to Spain with the purpose of acclimatizing them to the Peninsula, but rather he fathomed in the composition of a catalog and a discourse on the means to naturalize in Spain the trees of the Habana.
