Biography
During the reign of Charles III of Spain, three major botanical expeditions were sent to the New World; Pavón and Hipólito Ruiz López were the botanists for the first of these expeditions, to Peru and Chile from 1777 to 1788.[2]
The genus Pavonia was named in his honor by his contemporary, Spanish botanist Antonio José Cavanilles[3] — plants with the specific epithet of pavonii also commemorate his name.[4]
