The genus name of Lundinia is in honour of Roger Lundin (1955–2005), a Swedish botanist at the natural history museum in Stockholm.[3] The Latin specific epithet of plumbea refers to plumbeus meaning leaden.[4]
The genus was first described and published in Compositae Newslett. Vol.44 on pages 64–66 in 2006.[2]
