In human culture
The genus name Argophyllum is derived from Ancient Greek Árgos meaning white or shining, and phúllon meaning leaf. It refers to the white colouration of the underside of the leaves. The species epithet lejourdanii is named for Alfred Lejourdan who was one of Mueller's correspondents.
