It was originally described and published by Carl Sigismund Kunth in 1818. In 1913, John Hendley Barnhart treated this species as part of a new genus, "Aranella", which was later reduced to the taxonomic rank of section within the genus "Utricularia", thus bringing the species back to the original genus.Taylor, Peter.
