In 2015 it was proposed that Budawangia and the related genus Rupicola be merged into the larger genus Epacris, which was found to be paraphyletic to the former two. Budawangia gnidioides would be renamed Epacris gnidioides.[3][4] As at 2020, the Australian Plant Names Index lists "Epacris gnidioides (Summerh.) E.A.Br." as the accepted name for the Australian Plant Census.[5]
