Oldfeltia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. [2] It contains only one known species, Oldfeltia polyphlebia.

It is native to Cuba. [1]

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]
