Masson made several trips to the Canary Islands in the years 1770 to send some samples of plants and seeds to Linnaeus. These specimens were called by the son of the eminent botanist, Linnaeus Carlos Youth, although most were sent to Kew botanical garden, where William Aiton, gardener largest, called. Also noteworthy are the visit to the islands in German botanist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, in the late seventeenth century, the first to describe the most important areas of vegetation and the activities of the French botanist Broussonet, Consul of France in Tenerife.
