Freya alba is a South American species of flowering plant in the daisy family, Asteraceae, and the only species in the genus Freya.[1][2]

The genus name of Freya is in reference to Freyja, the Norse goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, gold, and seiðr (magic for seeing and influencing the future).[3]

The genus was circumscribed by Victor Manuel Badillo in Ernstia Vol.33 on page 9 in 1985.
