The plant was first described in 1862 by Henri Ernest Baillon in the journal Adansonia. [4] [5] The name was changed by Édouard Marie Heckel in 1870 when he described the genus, Fontainea in "Étude au point de vue Botanique et Thérapeutique sur la Fontainea pancheri (Nobis)". [1] [2]
The specific epithet, pancheri, derives from the name "Pancher" and honours the botanist Jean Armand Isidore Pancher who worked in New Caledonia. [5]
