Taxonomy

The species was first described by José Cuatrecasas in 1950.^[2] Cuatrecasas spelt the epithet caulobotryis.^[3] However, -botrys used in a scientific name is a noun, so its ending does not change.^[4] As of October 2021^[update], the International Plant Names Index used the spelling caulobotrys, noting the different initial spelling.^[2] This approach was followed by Tropicos^[5] and the International Union for Conservation of Nature,^[1] among others. The original spelling was also used.^[6]
