Las plantas americanas en la obra de Charles de l’Écluse: primeras citas en las cartas de Juan de Castañeda

Abstract

[ES] Las obras del botánico flamenco Charles de l'Écluse contienen infinidad de referencias a plantas americanas, destacando entre ellas el aguacate (Persea americana Mill.), las batatas [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.], las patatas (Solanum tuberosum L.) o el tabaco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) . Algunas de ellas fueron observadas por L'Écluse durante la expedición llevada a cabo por la Península Ibérica entre 1564 y 1565. La mayor parte de plantas americanas citadas en sus obras están relacionadas sin embargo con envíos realizados por diversos corresponsales repartidos por Europa. En el caso de España, L'Écluse recibió semillas desde Sevilla gracias a Simón de Tovar y Juan de Castañeda. Este último ofrece en sus cartas importantes novedades, como el "anón" (Annona cherimola Mill.), el "añil" (Indigofera añil L./I. tinctoria L.), la "guanábana" (Annona muricata L.), el "mamey" (Mammea americana L.), el "mamón" (Annona reticulata L.), el "ñame" (Dioscorea sp.), la "yerba cidrera" (Aloysia citrodora Palau) o la "yuca" (Manihot sp./Af. esculenta Crantz). Estas citas suponen en muchos casos la primera mención de su cultivo en el Viejo Mundo. Parte de este material fue utilizado además por L'Écluse en su obra Exoticorum libri decem, publicada en Amberes en 1605.

[EN] The Flemish botanist Charles de l'Écluse's works contain abundant references to American plants, for example the avocado (Persea americana Mill.), the sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.], the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and the tobáceo (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Although some of these plants were observed by L'Écluse himself during his expedition to the Iberian Península between 1564 and 1565, the majority of the American plants quoted in his works are related with shipments received from several agents around Europe. In the case of Spain, L'Écluse obtained seeds from Seville thanks to the help of Simón de Tovar and Juan de Castañeda. The latter offers in his letters important innovations: Annona cherimola Mill., Indigofera añil LJI. tinctoria L., Annona muricata L., Mammea americana L.. Annona reticulata L., Dioscorea sp., Aloysia citrodora Palau or Manihot spj M. esculenta Crantz. In most of the cases the mention of these plants represente the first record of cultivation in the Old World. A percentage of this material was used by L'Écluse in his Exoticorum libri decem, published in Antwerp in l605.
