The genus name of Oldfeltia is in honour of Karin Oldfelt Hjertonsson (b. 1940), a Swedish artist who collaborated with the author Bertil Nordenstam. Hjertonsson was the Swedish ambassador to Cuba for several years.[3] The Latin specific epithet of polyphlebia is a portmanteau word, 'poly-' is derived from Greek πολύς (polús) meaning many or much,[4] and '-phlebia' means "veins".[5] Both the genus and species were first described and published in Compositae Newslett. Vol. 38 on pages 66–67 in 2002.[1]
