The genus name of Plowmania is in honour of Timothy Plowman (1944–1989), an American ethnobotanist best known for his intensive work over the course of 15 years on the genus Erythroxylum , and the cultivated coca species in particular. [4] The Latin specific epithet of nyctaginoides means resembling Nyctago, a synonym of the genus Mirabilis.
