Lambia is a genus of green algae in the family Bryopsidaceae.[1]

The genus name of Lambia is in honour of Elke Mackenzie (1911–1990), born as Ivan Mackenzie Lamb, who was a British polar explorer and botanist who specialised in the field of lichenology.[2]

The genus was circumscribed by René Delépine in Compt. Rend. Hebd. Seances Acad. Sci. ser.D, vol.264 on pages 1410 and 1413 in 1967.
