''Rogiera'' was named and published by Jules Émile Planchon in ''Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe'' (Fl. Serres Jard. Eur.) Vol.5 on page 442 in 1849.<ref name="planchon1849">Jules Émile Planchon. 1849.

Some authors have included ''Rogiera'' in a broadly defined ''Rondeletia'', but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that ''Rogiera'' is closer to ''Guettarda'' than to ''Rondeletia''.<ref name="manns2010">Ulrika Manns and Birgitta Bremer. 2010.
