It was first described in 1934 by Robert Henry Anderson as Kochia cheelii, but in 1975 Paul Wilson reassigned it to the genus, Maireana.
It is a "vulnerable" species under the EPBC Act. Threats to its current populations include: weed invasion, grazing by stock, roadworks, and recreational vehicle use.
