Is mentioned by A. Marche (see there), to have accompanied him on a trip along the E. coast of Palawan etc. in Nov. 1883, and to have made large botanical collections. He is the author of a paper on the vegetation of the Philippines.1 Agrostistachys maesoana Vidal was named after him. |

Though Maeso plants are never cited, Vidal, when dedicating the above-mentioned plant, says: ‘Dedico esta especie al Auxillár botánico D. Jose Perez Maeso quien hallo los primeras ejemplares’. He cites under his number 897 a collection from Paragua = Palawan. Thus Dr Merrill supposes that the Maeso collections were distributed under Vidal labels, like so many others (for the present location see sub Vidal). |
