Other notable species are ''Actinotus schwarzii, A. schwarzii'' from the Macdonnell Ranges in Central Australia, which closely resembles ''A. helianthi'' in appearance, and the rare pink-flowering ''Actinotus forsythii, A. forsythii'' from the Blue Mountains (Australia), Blue Mountains. The genus was established by the French botanist Jacques Labillardière with his description of ''A. helianthi'' on page 67 of the first volume of his ''Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen''.
