Keeley, University of Hawai`i, Vernonieae- The Evil Tribe] within the family Asteraceae.[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/12985372#page/3/mode/1up Robinson, H. (1992) A new genus Vernonanthura (Vernonieae, Asteraceae) Phytologia 73(2) 65-76][http://www.tropicos.org/Name/40037845 Tropicos, Vernonanthura H. Rob.]

The genus name of Vernonanthura is in honour of William Vernon (1666/67 - ca.1711), who was an English plant collector, (bryologist) and entomologist from Cambridge University, who collected in Maryland, USA in 1698. As well as the complex ending derived from 'anthera' (anther) and 'oura' (tail), referring to the frequently tailed anther base of the plant.{{cite book |last=Burkhardt |first=Lotte |title=Eine Enzyklopädie zu eponymischen Pflanzennamen |trans-title=Encyclopedia of eponymic plant names |publisher=Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin |year=2022 |isbn=978-3-946292-41-8 |language=German |location=Berlin |doi=10.3372/epolist2022}}{{cite web |title=Vernon, William (c. 1666-1711) on JSTOR |url=https://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.person.bm000359038 |website=plants.jstor.org |access-date=2 December 2022}}
