Notoleptopus decaisnei had long been treated as a species of Leptopus, but in 2007, a molecular phylogenetic study of DNA sequences found it to be sister to a clade consisting of Pseudophyllanthus and Poranthera. In 2008, the new genus Notoleptopus was created for it.
The species, N. decaisnei, has eleven synonyms, and was first described as Andrachne decaisnei by George Bentham in 1873. The species epithet honours Joseph Decaisne.
