[Botanical studies in the illustrated plans of the Vice-Royalty of New Grenada].

During the kingdoms of the New Granada, the first plan of teaching which was presented by the botanical department was made during the Viceroy Caballero y Góngora (1787). Later, beginning in the 19th century, during the political and ideological repression in the universities, the plans of the Baron Carondelet (1800) were presented with the idea of the creation of the Botanical Department in the University of Quito, and the creole Eloy Valenzuela presented the teaching of botanical studies in the course of study of philosophy in the College-University of Mompox in 1806. He carried out a model of botanical expedition to realize in the villa of Mompox. This was included in the general laws in the College-University of Mompox. These plans were not approved by controversy and administrative procedures. Only, the Plan of Valenzuela had partial application.
