The species was first formally described in 1876 by Ferdinand von Mueller, who gave it the name Gastrolobium seorsifolium in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae. In 1943, Charles Gardner changed the name to Mirbelia seorsifolia in Enumeratio Plantarum Australiae Occidentalis. The specific epithet (seorsifolia) means "separate leaves", referring to the well-spaced leaves. Mirbelia seorsifolia is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
