Charles Antoine Lemaire (1800–1871), French botanist and botanical author
Named for Édouard de Ghellinck de Walle, the 19th Century Ghent plant collector, horticulturist and amateur botanist who first cultivated it in Europe, it was formally described in 1868 by Charles Antoine Lemaire, the French taxonomist who happened to be an authority on Cactaceae.
The generic name is derived from the 19th century French botanist Charles Antoine Lemaire.
