Etymology

The species name refers to the type locality.[1]

gollark: I think you would need a hilariously expensive and large free electron laser for that.
gollark: Lasers are "bright" because the output light is "compacted" into a small area.
gollark: *Fairly* sure, yes.
gollark: It's not going to be brighter unless you focus it, which you said you weren't doing.
gollark: I mean, those exist and are probably cheaper and easier to deal with.
