Taxonomy Correa lawrenceana was first formally described in 1834 by William Jackson Hooker who published the description in his journal, The Journal of Botany. In 1855, his son Joseph Dalton Hooker described Correa lawrenceana var. glabra, implicitly creating the autonym C. lawrenceana var. lawrenceana.
