In 1851, Duchassaing & Walpers used the same generic name, Sagotia, to refer to a very different plant. [5] 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:
