Previously included in a broadly defined Platylobium formosum (along with P. montanum, P. parviflorum, P. rotundum and P. infecundum). Similar in many respects to P. montanum subsp. montanum, but distinguished from that species by the distinctly recurved bracteoles, and the leaves that are less commonly deeply cordate.
