It was named in honor of plant taxonomist Daniel Odhiambo Miyawa, who pursued his doctoral degree at the Sino-Africa Joint Research Center. Wang met him in 2014 and learned that he was an orchid expert at the National Museum of Kenya. Wang invited him to pursue a doctorate at the Sino-Africa Joint Research Center, and the following year, Miyawa arrived in Wuhan.
