Its native range is eastern Mediterranean to Iran and Arabian Peninsula. It is found in Egypt, the Gulf States, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the Sinai desert.[2]

The genus name of Schimpera is in honour of Georg Wilhelm Schimper (1804–1878), a German botanist and naturalist.[3] The genus has the synonym of Traillia Lindl. ex Endl.[2] The Latin specific epithet of arabica means coming from the land of the Arabs. It was first described and published in Gen. Pl. on page 889 in 1839.[2] The species was first published in E.G.von Steudel, Nomencl. Bot., ed.2, Vol.2 on page 530 in 1841.[1]
