For Manuel Munõz de Ugena (Manuel Munõz y Matarranz) (1747–1807), Spanish botanical artist and court painter to Charles III, who ruled Spain and the Spanish Indies from 1759–1788. Munõz was a good friend of Casimiro Gómez de Ortega (1741–1818), Spanish physician and botanist and first professor of the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid. Gómez published extensively on the new plant species collected during Spanish explorations of South America. Together, they authored the two-volume work on Spanish flora Florae Hispanicae Delectus Florae, sive Plantarum per Hispaniensis Imperium Insigniorum Nascentium Icones Sponte, et Description (1791–1792). Munõz de Ugena did woodcuts for this volume.
