Background and additional information:

This is based on a proposal submitted on 2002-10-11 and circulated to the
JAC for comments on 2002-10-30. No feedback has been received from JAC
members or other experts.

I do not have a good source for the French name, and I have not been able to
find information about an indigenous name. Any information would be of
interest.
