The son of María Concepción Ezpeleta, Francisco Javier Girón, founded the Spanish Civil Guard in 1844. His grandfather, father of María Concepción, was José Manuel Ezpeleta Galdeano (Pamplona 1739-1823), governor of Cuba (1785-1789), viceroy of Nueva Granada (present Colombia) (1789-1797), captain General of Catalonia (1808) and viceroy of Navarra (1814-1820). In Colombia, among other things, he promoted trips of botany. Among them, the famous expedition of José Celestino Mutis (Mutis), founded in 1549 by the arizkundarra Pedro Ursua, who lived in the city of Pamplona.
The journey lasted for 30 years, but eventually cleared the way to take advantage of the enormous wealth of those lands. Many plants and animals were declared. In this work, Mutis named Espeletia a a new genus of plants in memory of its mecenase. As a relative of this genus, the Gironese botanist Cuatrecasas i Arume named in the last century the genera Coespeletia and Espeletiopsis.
In American botany the history of Euskaldunes names is palpable. In addition to these Espeletias, Coespeletias and Espeletiopsis, the aforementioned Uribea, Aristeguieta, Echeverria and Lardizabala are also present. But it's already over... In Chile, for example, there are a lot of plants that have a Basque name.

The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]
Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]
It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]

Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]
In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]
Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it... [+]
The curious interannual days end, those who eat and drink from the emanations of the earth. I'll eat from the best to the best. Supposedly. Heavy champagne and cava bottles are easy to dance. Even though they are of all kinds today, they were once the cider of the other barrel... [+]
