该种被F.-Vullar降为Camellia lanceolata (Bl.) Seem。根据E. D. Merril的引文：“它与Calpandria lanceolaia Blume即使不完全相同，也是非常接近的亲缘关系。”J.R.Sealy沿用前文的鉴定，将其降为Camellia lanceolata。根据上述标本的性状，雄蕊长5-6毫米，花丝离生，花柱长3毫米，表明它与Calpandria组无亲缘关系，而属于类山茶属的短柱茶组（Paracamellia)。本种的典型性状为：幼枝被柔毛，叶长圆形，长6-9厘米，宽2-3.5厘米，两端钝或近圆形，花有短柄，叶柄长2-4毫米，花瓣长6-7.1厘米，雄蕊5-6毫米离生，花柱长3毫米。
短柱山茶最近一次于 2017年进行了IUCN濒危等级评估，被评为数据缺乏 Data Deficient（DD）。
