The genus Kuntheria was described for the third species of Schelhammera, namely Schelhammera pedunculata, by Clifford and Conran for the Australian Flora in 1987.[4] The German botanist Mueller who described it had stated that this taxon "either requires specific distinction, or should perhaps be regarded as a gigantic form of S. multiflora".[5]
