It was originally described by Alexander Gustav von Schrenk in 1844. Otto Stapf's worldwide monograph on the genus included this species, but Stapf did not place it in a section. Later, it was placed in section '' Alatae''.[Price, R. A. (1996). Systematics of the Gnetales: A review of morphological and molecular evidence.
