"Muellerina" is a member of Santalales, the mistletoe order, and is placed within the family Loranthaceae. The name "Muellerina" was first published by Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem in 1895, where one New Zealand species, "Muellerina raoullii", and two Australian species ("Muellerina celastroides" and "M. eucalyptifolia" - now "M. eucalyptoides") are given. Further Australian "Muellerina" species are listed in van Tieghem.
