List of taxa named by Ruiz and Pavón

Hipólito Ruiz López and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez are jointly cited as the authors of many botanical names. Between 1779 and 1788 these Spanish botanists (together with the French botanist Joseph Dombey) visited Chile, Peru and other South American countries. Their standard author abbreviations are "Ruiz" and "Pav.", so that they are now jointly cited as "Ruiz & Pav." Ruiz y Pavón is the Spanish form of the Latin Ruiz et Pavón; both mean "Ruiz and Pavón".

Taxa of Ruiz & Pavón

Although Ruiz and Pavón named plant genera after one another, Cavanilles was working independently at about the same time and honoured each of them with the genus names Pavonia Cav. (in family Malvaceae), and Ruizia Cav. (in family Sterculiaceae), which were published before their own work. Pavonia Ruiz & Pav. and Ruizia Pav.(in family Monimiaceae) are thus homonyms.

Key : A = species is accepted  |  S = species is a synonym  |  U = species is unresolved Unless otherwise noted, the reference for information used in this list comes from The Plant List. Discrepancies in the sources are indicated by a red asterisk (*) corresponding to a note foundat the end of the list of the genus in which it appears.
