Thomas Gibson Lea (December 14, 1785 – September 30, 1844) was an American botanist who was born in Wilmington, Delaware.[1] He was the older brother of the publisher, Isaac Lea and the younger brother of John Lea (1782-1862), who is known for his study of a cholera outbreak in Cincinnati, Ohio.[2]
He was honoured with Miles Joseph Berkeley (1803 - 1889), an English cryptogamist and clergyman in the naming of Berkleasmium (in 1854), which is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Dematiaceae.[3]
