H. comptoniana was brought into cultivation in England in 1810 by the 1st Marchioness of Northampton. [4] The plant is fairly vigorous and can cover a 3 by 3 metres (9.8 by 9.8 ft) area in two years, smothering smaller plants it is allowed to grow over. Partly shaded positions in the garden are most suitable. [4]

The species was first described by Frederick Manson Bailey in 1890 as Millettia pilipes. [4] It was placed in the genus Callerya as Callerya pilipes by Anne M. Schot in 1994. A 2019 molecular phylogenetic study found that it did not belong either in the genus Millettia or in the genus Callerya, and placed it in a newly established genus Austrocallerya within an expanded tribe Wisterieae.
