Lundinia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Lundinia plumbea.[2]

It is native to Cuba and the Dominican Republic.[2]

The genus name of Lundinia is in honour of Roger Lundin (1955–2005), a Swedish botanist at the natural history museum in Stockholm.[3] The Latin specific epithet of plumbea refers to plumbeus meaning leaden.[4]

The genus was first described and published in Compositae Newslett. Vol.44 on pages 64–66 in 2006.[2]
