The genus name of ''Paulita'' is in honour of Pavel Nikolaevich Ovczinnikov or ''Paul Ovczinnikov'' (1903–1979), who was a Russian botanist, specialist in grasses, who in 1945 was the Director of the Botanical Institute at the Academcy of Sciences in Tajikistan. The genus was circumscribed by Jiří Soják in Čas. Nár. Muz. Praze, Rada Přír. vol.150 on page 216 in (1981, publ. 1982).

Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (), commonly called angiosperms. The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ('container, vessel') and ('seed'), and refers to those plants that produce their seeds enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ancestor of all living gymnosperms before the end of the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. The closest fossil relatives of flowering plants are uncertain and contentious. The earliest angiosperm fossils ar ...
