The genus name of Nernstia is in honour of Walther Hermann Nernst (1864–1941), who was a German chemist known for his work in thermodynamics, physical chemistry, electrochemistry, and solid state physics.. [2]
The genus contains only one species, i.e. Nernstia mexicana (Zucc. & Mart. ex DC.) Urb., which is endemic to north-eastern Mexico. [1]
