GENERAL INFORMATION

• This species was initially described by William Grant Craib in the early 20th-century - possibly the 1920s.
• He placed it in the already-constructed genus of Stephania, which can be translated from Greek to mean 'crown'.
• This is in reference to the crown-shaped arrangement of the anthers, the area that holds its pollen in the flowers. Within twenty years, the species was reclassified as Stephania pierrei, honouring French botanist, Jean Baptiste Louis Pierre.
• The original specific epithet, erecta, refers to the pointed branches that emerge from a dormant caudex.
