[1] The specific name blommersae honours Rose Marie Antoinette Blommers-Schlösser, a Dutch herpetologist and entomologist.

The iris is light brown to grey, with some reddish-brown colour and greenish yellow periphery.

[3] Boophis blommersae occurs in humid rainforest at elevations of 379–1,780 m (1,243–5,840 ft) above sea level.

It is a very common species but tolerates only slight habitat modification — it is threatened by habitat loss caused by subsistence agriculture, timber extraction, charcoal manufacture, the spread of eucalyptus, and expanding human settlements.

However, it occurs in the well-managed Montagne d'Ambre National Park and the Tsaratanana Reserve, and in the planned Bemanevika protected area.
