 Despite publishing a new name for the genus, Endlicher omitted to formally transfer Brown's three species.In 1838, John Lindley published two more names, "Stirlingia paniculata" and "Stirlingia simplex".Two years later Endlicher transferred "Simsia anethifolia" to "Stirlingia anethifolia", and Ernst Steudel transferred the other two of Brown's species, as "Stirlingia latifolia" and "Stirlingia tenuifolia".
