The leaves have been used traditionally for hundreds of years in both Brazil and to sweeten local teas and medicines, and as a “sweet treat”. The genus was named for Spanish botanist and physician Petrus Jacobus Stevus (Pedro Jaime Esteve 1500–1556), a professor of botany at the University of Valencia in 1899, Swiss botanist Moisés Santiago Bertoni, while conducting researchin eastern Paraguay,first described the plant and the sweet taste in detail.
