The species was formally described in 1851 by British botanist William Griffith who gave it the name Grammatophyllum paludosum. Griffith had collected the plant from swampy upland in Malacca, growing in association with Nepenthes species.[4] It was transferred to the genus Dipodium by German botanist Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1862.[1]
