Commonness

Candlefrobra is about the forty-seventh most common naturally-occurring oscillator in Achim Flammenkamp's census.[4] On Catagolue, it is the fifth most common period 3 oscillator, being less common than caterer but more common than candlefrobra on cis-beehive.[5]

gollark: IDidThinkOfThatActually.
gollark: But that's slightly longer.
gollark: That is allowed.
gollark: But this is a possibility I suppose, separate linkable titles and renderable titles.

Notes
  1. This discrepancy appears to be due to a mistake while writing the Life Lexicon. Hickerson does not give this oscillator a name in his collection, and instead uses "candlefrobra" to refer to a variant of candelabra, attributing the latter to Wainwright instead.[3]
