In 1851, Duchassaing & Walpers used the same generic name, ''Sagotia'', to refer to a very different plant.Duchassaing de Fontbressin, Édouard Placide & Walpers, Wilhelm Gerhard . 1851. Linnaea : Ein Journal für die Botanik in ihrem ganzen Umfange 23(6): 737-739
in Latin Ordinarily, the rules of nomenclature mandate that the older name should be considered legitimate, while the newer one would need to be abandoned. In this case, however, the decision was made to conserve the newer name and reject the older one. Thus the one name in the older name was changed as follows:
*''Sagotia triflora'' (L.) Duchass. & Walp. - ''Desmodium triflorum'' (L.) DC.
