Etymology

The species is named in honour of Daniel H. Janzen.

gollark: Probably not, we know it's 5d6 to duplicate it → likely failure, and bye.
gollark: I'll have to naturally level up in duplication or something.
gollark: You WOULD? Bee, guess we'll retroactively unexist that.
gollark: So I'm assuming there exist non-6 dice.
gollark: Well, it doesn't tell us what the dice are.
