Taxonomy
Hybanthus floribundus was first described as Pigea floribunda in 1838 by John Lindley, but was transferred to the genus, Hybanthus in 1876 by Ferdinand von Mueller
This taxon name is accepted by most Australian authorities, but not by Plants of the World Online nor VicFlora (both of which authorities consider Pigea floribunda as the accepted name)
