The genus name of Lipskya is in honour of Vladimir Lipsky (1863–1937), a Ukrainian scientist, botanist as well as a member of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (in 1922–1928, its President) and corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and the Director of the Botanical Gardens of the Odessa University.[4] The Latin specific epithet of insignis means significant.[5] Both genus and species were first described and published in Trudy Bot. Inst. Akad. Nauk S.S.S.R., Series 1, Fl. Sist. Vyssh. Rast. Vol.4 on pages 271-272 in 1937.[2]
