The genus name of Ianhedgea is in honour of Ian Charleson Hedge (b. 1928), a Scottish botanist at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.[3] The Latin specific epithet of minutiflora means 'minute' meaning small and 'flora' meaning flower.
Both genus, species and subspecies were first described and published in Edinburgh J. Bot. Vol.56 on page 322 in 1999.[2]
It has a subspecies Ianhedgea minutiflora subsp. brevipedicellata (Hedge) Al-Shehbaz & O'Kane (syn. Microsisymbrium murgabicum Ikonn.) from Afghanistan and Tajikistan. [4]
