The species was first described as Vitis angustissima in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller, from a specimen collected by Oldfield on the Murchison River.[4][5] In 1887 Jules Planchon reassigned it to his newly described genus, Clematicissus,[4][6] with Clematicussus angustissima being the type species.[6]

The inflorescence is leaf-opposed and multi-flowered with congested heads. Both calyx and corolla are five-lobed. The berries are fleshy and purplish-black to black when mature.[3]
