Azorella lanceolate t 99, from Labillardiere, 1805[3] (artist: Poiteau)

The species was first formally described by French naturalist Jacques Labillardière in 1805 in the first volume of Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen and given the name Azorella lanceolata.[1][3] The species was transferred to the genus Platysace in 1917 by English botanist George Claridge Druce.[1]
