Who is Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy?
Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy was an 18th-century Mexican botanical artist and naturalist. He accompanied Martin de Sessé y Lacasta and Mariano Mociño Suárez de Figueroa in their expedition through Mexico, with the goal of compiling a great inventory of fauna and flora of the country.
Because of political instability in New Spain caused by the Napoleonic Wars, the project was not completed. A great number of his drawings are preserved at the Hunt Institute.
The genus Echeveria is named after him.
