The description was published in the journal Telopea.[5][4] The specific epithet (bensonii) honours Douglas Howard Benson, an ecologist with the National Herbarium of New South Wales.[4]
Distribution and habitat
Benson's stringybark is only known from isolated occurrences in the Wollemi National Park between Rylstone and Glen Davis where it grows in heath on highland plateau areas.
