Taxonomy

This species was first described in 1845 by the Dutch botanist Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel, who gave it the combination Cubeba hederacea and published his description in The London Journal of Botany. It was subsequently transferred to Piper hederaceum in 1869 by the Swiss botanist Anne Casimir Pyramus de Candolle, writing in the book Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.
