Biography
Ex botanist at the INTA, University of Chile, Santiago. Pedro Felix Ravenna has conducted fieldwork and systematic research for a variety of taxa in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

In 1968 he studied at the Institute of Agricultural Botany (INTA) in Castelar and the Darwinian Institute of Botany, San Isidro (both in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) for his "Notes on Iridaceae". The following year he contributed to the Amaryllis year book, writing on South American and Latin American Amaryllis and creating the Amaryllidaceae monograph for Maeva Correa's Flora Patagónica. He explored Argentina for Hippeastrum species and has also worked on the genera Sisyrinchium and Alstroemeria. Ravenna has his own private herbarium in Buenos Aires in which many of the types of species from the above mentioned genera are stored.
