Clevelandia beldingii is a species of hemiparasitic plants in the broomrape family, the only species in the genus Clevelandia.[1][2] It is native to Baja California and Baja California Sur, in northwestern Mexico.[3]
Its generic name Clevelandia acknowledges the help of San Diego-based plant collector and lawyer Daniel Cleveland (1838–1929):
The genus is dedicated to Mr. Daniel Cleveland, of San Diego, whose intelligent field labors in Californian Botany have well earned this acknowledgment.—Edward Lee Greene[4]
Besides numerous other plants,[5] he has a second Clevelandia genus (arrow goby, a fish) named after him.
