''Pimelea glauca'' was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown and description published in ''Prodromus florae Novae Hollandiae et insulae Van-Diemen, exhibens characteres plantarum quas annis 1802-1805''. The specific epithet ''glauca'' is from the Latin word ''glaucus'' meaning having bluish-grey or green colour, referring to the leaves of this species.References:
