It was first described in 1800 by Daniel Solander as Geranium pilosum, from a specimen found in New Zealand.[2][8][9] However, the name was illegal (having already been used in 1787 by Antonio José Cavanilles)[10] and it was renamed in 1965 by Roger Charles Carolin, with the species epithet, solanderi, honouring Solander.[2][3]
