According to Burch (1966), the purported type (LINN 630.10) is conspecific with E. maculata, and the traditional use of E. thymifolia is consistent with a Sloane specimen. Formerly included in the genus Chamaesyce, this species is reclassified under Euphorbia subg. Chamaesyce sect. Anisophyllum subsect. Hypericifoliae.
