==Taxonomy==
The genus ''Scaevola'' was first [[species description|described]] by [[Carl Linnaeus]] in 1771.<ref name=IPNI_384239-1>{{citation |mode=cs1 |title=''Scaevola'' |work=[[International Plant Names Index|The International Plant Names Index]] |url=https://www.ipni.org/n/384239-1 |access-date=2019-12-15 }}</ref> He did not explain the origin of the genus name.<ref name=Linn71>{{Citation |last1=Linnaeus |first1=Carl |date=1771 |mode=cs1 |contribution=Scaevola |title=Mantissa Plantarum Altera.

Linnaeus did not explicitly use the specific epithet ''plumieri'' in combination with the genus ''Scaevola''; the combination ''Scaevola plumieri'' was first published by [[Martin Vahl]] in 1791.<ref name=Jeff80>{{Citation |mode=cs1 |last1=Jeffrey |first1=C. |date=1980 |title=On the nomenclature of the strand ''Scaevola'' species (Goodeniaceae) |journal=Kew Bulletin |volume=34 |issue=3 |pages=537–545 |jstor=4109829 |doi=10.2307/4109829 }}</ref>
