The writings of José Agustín Álvarez Rixo (1796-1884) clearly belong to the main ideas of the Enlightenment and, among them, the concepts of progress, development of knowledge, education, responsibility and wisdom. He devoted much of his lifetime to the compilation of information and to the analysis of everything related to the world of the Canaries: the past and the present, the material fields and moral aspects, the unique personalities and the collectives. From there come his numerous historical, linguistic and ethnographic studies. Within the body of his works there is a series of writings on agriculture and natural history, two fields that reveal his views regarding progress, knowledge and the development of the Canary economy. This paper edits and comments on an unpublished text of this author of Puerto de la Cruz in which he gives a catalogue of several plants introduced in the Canary Islands in the nineteenth century, and which brings us closer to the local history, the people he met and the particularities of his literary language.
