The genus name is in honour of Benjamin Peter Gloxin (1765–1794), a German physician and botanical writer.[2] The specific Latin epithet of lindeniana refers to the Luxemburg born botanist Jean Jules Linden (1817-1898).[3]

It was first described and published in Selbyana Vol.25 on page 227 in 2005.[1]
