The species was first formally described by botanist Robert Brown, his description published in Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale in 1817.[1] Previously broadly defined and considered conspecific with Hibbertia ericifolia and thought to occur across eastern Australia to Tasmania, it is now recognised as only occurring in central Queensland.[2]
