Zusammenfassung
In the biggest musical Archive of the cathedral of Santa Fe de Bogotá (Colombia), very important in all hispanic America, appear a «villancico», with only the words, but no the score, in honour of Saint Teresa de Jesús. In this religious sing, that we unknown the author, many medicinal plants are singing in praise of this Saint. It was proximately written circa 1722. In this paper we describe some persons of the musical chapel of the cathedral, that usually to meet in the small house of a musician, near to cathedral, in order to social gathering for conversation. This small house had a vegetable garden with medicinal plants. We transcribe the curious «villancico» and analyse, one by one, the medicinal plants cited in the «villancico» sing, with their characteristics. The medicinal plants were introduced in America from Spain.
