Taxonomy
The species was first described as Vitis oblonga by George Bentham in 1863. In 1887 Jules Émile Planchon placed it in the genus Cissus. In 2023 Betsy R. Jackes and Anna Trias-Blasi placed the species and six others in the new genus Apocissus.[7]
As of April 2026[update], the revised name Apocissus oblonga is not accepted by the Australian National Herbarium or GBIF.[8][9].
