Stemona australiana

Stemona australiana is a plant species native to tropical south-east Asia, including northern Australia and Papua New Guinea. It grows as a herb or climber up to two metres high.
It was first published by George Bentham in 1878 under the name "Roxburghia javanica" var. "australiana", indicating that it was considered a variety of the plant now known as "Stemona javanica". In 1896 Charles Henry Wright transferred it into "Stemona", a name for the genus which had priority over "Roxburghia", at the same time promoting it to species rank as "Stemona australiana".
