José Celestino Mutis (1732-1808), landare genero berri bati Espeletia izena jarri zion botanikaria.

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 genus Larrea, which encompasses five species. He promoted the sciences and the arts in tribute to the priest Juan Antonio Hernández de Larrea.

Lastarriaea, in memory of the work of revolutionary deputy and writer José Victorino Lastarria (1817-1889) in favor of Chile.

Ercilla, in tribute to the poet Alonso Ertzilla Zuñiga, son of the Bermeotarras, who wrote La Araucana, the largest epic poem in Chilean history.

Luzuriagaceae family and genus Luzuriaga, Ignacio M. Areatza. [Ruiz de Luzuriaga (1763-1822), Doctor of Surgery and the Exaltation of the Botanist].

Ochagavía (1820-1883), a tribute genre to Silvestre Ochagavia Errazuriz, former minister of justice, culture and public instruction.

The genus Urmenetea reminds philanthropist José Tomás Urmeneta García (1808-1878). His name was given by the botanist Rodulfo Amandus Philippi, who made a great donation to the museum of which he was a director and which was undoubtedly rewarded.

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... [+]

Climate change and landscape

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... [+]

Eating everywhere

In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]

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... [+]

Madreselva

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... [+]

Ice in the wood
Ice has done its own thing: evil. At the end of April there have been large white ice cream which has not been seen for a long time. A work of satin but in sight, without any shame: cunning. It has rained terribly in the south of Euskal Herria.

Fireflies home
We have started a beautiful month of May. By the time we realize, we are on the longest days of the year. They will then be the shortest nights of the year, but with a unique show. I don't mean those furious feasts that sanctify the feasts. Fireflies are quieter.

Sweating with sweat
Plants are a big wave or a bomb. Big trees, needless to say, it has. A beech (Fagus sylvatica) with a meter and a half of a caravan needs about 400 liters of water a day to contain the metabolism. It has to find 400 liters of water somewhere, it develops a huge substrate to find... [+]

Getozka is cosmopolitan, Portulaca oleracea. We have traveled the world, knowingly or in word, and in many places it lives well. It's Norwegian and ubiquitous. Like all we know, we don't know very well where it is from. When we talk about plants, we have a terrible trend: this is... [+]
