It was first described in 1786 as Cytisus triflorus.^[1] Along with its two recognized subspecies, C. triflorus subsp. pumilus and C. triflorus subsp. triflorus, it has many synonyms including subspecies and varieties of the separate species Chamaecytisus hirsutus.^[1][2][3]

Chamaecytisus triflorus was first described by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1786 as Cytisus triflorus. It was transferred to the genus Chamaecytisus in 1986.^[1]
