The species was first formally described in 1845 by Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel who gave it the name Pleurandra diamesogenos in Johann Georg Christian Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.[3][4] In 2004, Judith Roderick Wheeler changed the name to Hibbertia diamesogenos in the journal Nuytsia.[5][6] The specific epithet (diamesogenos) is derived from Greek, meaning "across", "middle" and kind".[7]
This hibbertia grows in a variety of soils and habitats in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.[2]
