"Levenhookia" sect. "Coleostylis" is a section of four recognized species in the family Stylidiaceae. It was established and described by Johannes Mildbraed in 1908 to separate the subgeneric taxonomy in the genus "Levenhookia". Mildbraed originally placed "L. preissii" and "L. stipitata" in this section.Mildbraed, J. (1908). Stylidiaceae. In: Engler, A. "Das Pflanzenreich: Regni vegetabilis conspectus". IV. 278. Leipzig.] "L. chippendalei" was described in 1966 and placed in this section by Rica Erickson and Jim Willis.Erickson, R. and Willis, J.H. (1966). Some additions to Australian Stylidiaceae. "Victorian Naturalist", 83: 107-112.] Section "Coleostylis" could also contain "L. octomaculata", which Erickson described in 1956, noting its affinities with "L. stipitata" but without placing it in a section. Otherwise it would be unplaced as to a section.Erickson, R. and Willis, J.H. (1956). Critical notes on Australian Stylidiaceae, with descriptions of three new species and two new varieties. "The Victorian Naturalist", 72: 130-136.]
