 Two more species, "Stirlingia abrotanoides" and "Stirlingia teretifolia", were published by Carl Meissner in 1845.In 1848, some confusion was caused by an orthographic error in a work of Endlicher's, referring to "Stirlingia anethifolia" as "Stirlingia acutifolia".Also that year, Meissner published an eighth species, "Stirlingia affinis".
