Taxonomy and naming

The genus ''Styphelia'' was first formally described in 1795 by James Edward Smith in his book '' A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland''. The name ''Styphelia'' is from an ancient Greek word meaning "tough" or "harsh", referring to the "stiff, prickly leaves and general habit" of the genus.
