Botanists J. Martínez G. and J. A. Mc Donald first described Nowickea glabra as part of the rich biodiversity found in Mexico. The known distribution of this species is specifically traced to the state of Morelos.
Taxonomically, it is classified under the genus Nowickea within the Phytolaccaceae family.
The epithet glabra serves as the primary morphological indicator of Nowickea glabra during botanical expeditions. This technical terminology indicates that the stems and leaves present a completely smooth texture free of pubescence, a crucial distinguishing feature for its correct visual identification.
As an established member of the family Phytolaccaceae, the plant retains certain basic floral structures common to its evolutionary relatives. The cellular adaptation of its tissues has allowed it to thrive and survive in the specific microclimates present in Morelos.
