Pogostemon sampsonii, inoa ʻepekema Pogostemon sampsonii. Ua ʻike ʻia ka mea kanu i ka makahiki 1826 a ua hoʻololi pinepine i kona inoa. No ka manawa lōʻihi (ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi haneli) ua koho ʻia ʻo ia ʻo Limnophila punctata "Blume". ʻO ka huaʻōlelo ma nā kaha puanaʻi ka inoa o ka mea kākau nāna i hāʻawi i ka wehewehe ʻepekema mua, ʻo Carl Ludwig Blume (1796-1862). Ma lalo o kēia inoa, ua ʻike ʻia ma nā papa inoa o nā mea kanu aquarium a ua kūʻai ikaika ʻia ma ʻAmelika a me ʻAsia, a mai ka makahiki 2012 ua hoʻolako ʻia i ʻEulopa.
