Historia del nombre genérico Escallonia mutis ex L. Fil.

According with the historical context of the Real Expedición Botánica del Nuevo Reino de Granada (1783-1816), the nomenclatural history of the generic name Escallonia Mutis ex L. fiI. (Grossulariaceae) is discussed. The extant misinterpretation concerning the name in the manuscript documentation of the Expedition, is brigthened; four species of diferent  families appear associated to this name in the manuscripts. Type specimens of two species, Escallonia myrtilloides L. fiI. and Dichondra evolvulacea (L. fiI.) Britton are located or selected.
