notes:
The root of the ratanya plant is used medicinally. Eager to showcase the pharmacological importance of South American plants, the Spanish crown sponsored several botanical surveys of the New World. Ruiz was the director of the survey of Chile and Peru and published a number of successful scientific publications.
