A new name, Aristolochia wuana Zhen W. Liu & Y. F. Deng, is proposed to replace the later homonym Aristolochia macrocarpa C. Y. Wu & S. K. Wu ex D. D. Tao, not A. macrocarpa Duchartre. The species may be closely related to A. griffithii Hooker f. & Thomson ex Duchartre but differs in its retuse or rounded leaf apex (vs. acute or shortly acuminate), oblong capsule (vs. narrowly cylindrical), and the smooth upper surface of the seeds (vs. rugose).
