Vicente Cervantes Mendo (Ledrada, Salamanca, 1758-México, 1829) was a famous Spanish Mexican scientific; he is today heritage of Spain and Mexico. As a continuation of two recent articles on his life at Spain, the present study deals with his scientific formation at Madrid, as pharmacist and as botanist, as well as on his professional activity. Two documents of Casimiro Gómez Ortega, principal professor of the Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid, dated in 1786 and related with the Real Expedición Botánica a Nueva España (1787-1803), have served to establish conclusions which clarify the subjects studied and correct mistakes.
