Description

In 1917 botanist Elmer D. Merrill was the first to formally describe this species name, based on de Candolle's 1825 name Marignia acutifoliawhich was in turn based on earlier Rumphius's 1600s description from "Amboina", Ambon Island, in the Moluccas Islands. Furthermore, Merrill also based his description on a 1913 type specimen collection from Ambon by Robinson to represent Rumphius’s Ambon description and on other synonymous names described in between these times.
