"Levenhookia" sect. "Estipitatae" (sometimes spelled as "Exstipitatae") is a section of two to three 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. dubia" and "L. leptantha" in this section. "L. sonderi" was described by Mildbraed as a variety of "L. dubia", though other resources treat it as a distinct species.Mildbraed, J. (1908). Stylidiaceae. In: Engler, A.
