Dr. Rafael M. Mascoso National Botanical Garden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Rafael M. Moscoso National Botanical Garden (Jardin Botanico Nacional Dr. Rafael M. Moscoso) is a botanical garden in the heart of Santo Domingo. The park was founded in 1976 and was named after Dr. Rafael M. Moscoso, a Dominican botanist who cataloged the flora on the island of Hispaniola[1].
The garden's symbol is a "guanito" leave (Coccothrinax argentea) which is a palm tree found in the garden. The garden is a decentralized institution that reports to the Dominican Republic's Presidential Ministry of Management.
