The genus name of Lorenzochloa is in honour of Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi (1895–1966), who was an Argentinian botanist and agricultural engineer, professor of botany in Buenos Aires and La Plata with a focus on South American grasses.[3]
The species was first described as Muhlenbergia erectifolia by Jason Richard Swallen in 1931.[1] It was later placed in the genus Ortachne as Ortachne erectifolia,[4] until phylogenetic analysis.[5]
