CLAPPIA, Nov. Gen. 
* At Laredo, on the Lower Rio Grande, in August, 1829, Berlandier (as appears from the remains of his collections bough 
from his widow) gathered a few specimens of a Composita of doubtful affinity. Тһе specimens were not numbered, and 
doubtless have not been distributed by him. It is to be sought on the lower part of the Rio Grande. The plant appears to be 
the type of a new genus, which I dedicáte to Dr. A. Clapp, of New Albany, Indiana, one of the most zealous botanists of our 
Western States, and the author of an important work, entitled ** A Synopsis or Systematic peces of the Medicinal Plants 
of the United States, 1859,”
