 The first infrageneric arrangement of "Dryandra" was Brown's 1810 arrangement, which listed 13 species, but did not attempt an infrageneric classification.Twenty years later, Brown published a revised arrangement which divided 23 recognised species in three subgenera, and also transferred one of his 1810 "Dryandra" species into a separate genus named "Hemiclidia".This remained current until 1856, when Meissner's arrangement was published.
