Francisco Manuel Blanco (1778 in Navianos, Spain – 1845 in Manila, Philippines) was a Spanish Augustinian friar and botanist. He wrote and compiled the first comprehensive flora of the Philippines and called his work "Flora de Filipinas según el sistema de Linneo" (Flora of the Philippines according to the system of Linnaeus). The first two editions (Manila, 1837 and 1845) were unillustrated. Celestine Fernandez Villar (1838-1907) together with others including Antonio Llanos, and published an illustrated posthumous edition from 1877 to 1883, printed by C. Verdaguer of Barcelona. The Spanish Filipino translator Luis Antonio Mañeru was commissioned to translate the entire book which is a beautiful compilation of exquisitely done plates in full color of every type of flora the good friar accumulated and studied. The book was commissioned by the San Agustin Museum and re-published in 1990 in Manila.
