Carl Linnaeus created some confusion by using the genus name
Nama twice – in 1753 for the type species
Nama zeylanica and in 1759 for the type species
Nama jamaicensis. The later of the two has been
conserved over the earlier, the correct name for which is now
Hydrolea. There has been some further confusion over the gender of
Nama. The
Greek (), referring to 'flowing water', is neuter, English names are from the
