Taxonomy
The plant correctly called D. opposita is now considered to be the same species as D. oppositifolia.[1] However, a plant often called Dioscorea opposita is a different species, correctly called Dioscorea polystachya. Botanical works that point out that error may list, e.g., Dioscorea opposita auct. non Thunb. as a synonym of D. polystachya.[6]
