Octolepidoideae is a subfamily and one of the earliest branches of the Thymelaeaceae family.

[1] This species inherited multiple morphological character states from its ancestor, Thymelaeaceae.

Researchers have found the species to contain 4-merous and 6-merous calyces, albeit they remain rarer.

[2] The pollen of most octolepidoideae are provided with small spinules on the outer covering of their pollen grains.
