The genus name of Torralbasia is in honour of José Ildefonso Torralbas (1842–1903), Cuban botanist and agronomist; director of the university botanical museum in Havana and professor at the university.[3] The Latin specific epithet of cuneifolia means wedge-shaped, and is derived from cuneate.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in D.H.Segui, Fl. Med. Tox. Cuba on page 60 in 1900.[1][2]
