Taxonomy
It was first described in 1844 by Christian Ferdinand Friedrich Hochstetter as Carissa oblongifolia,[4][5] reassigned in 1876 to the genus, Acokanthera, by George Bentham and Joseph Hooker,[6] but not validly, and finally, in 1895, validly published by Benjamin Daydon Jackson as Acokanthera oblongifolia.[4][7]
