Domingo Castillejo or Castillejos (died 1786) was a Spanish botanist, surgeon, and professor. From 1770 to 1786, he served as a professor of materia medica and botany at the Royal Naval College of Surgery in Cádiz, during which time his studies were devoted to the flora of the southern Iberian Peninsula.[1][2][3] Among the many positions he held during this time was Cádiz correspondent for the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid; in this position he received many new plants imported from the New World, and acclimatized them for distribution to other nurseries throughout Spain and the Canary Islands.[4]
The illustrious botanist José Celestino Mutis, a contemporary of Castillejo, named the plant genus Castilleja in his honor.[1]
Following Castillejo's death, his academic position was filled by another of his students, Francisco Arjona, who continued Castillejo's studies of the flora of the Cádiz region.[5]
