Name
@Surtsicna: It seems to have been named after an "Edward Forster", see [1]. (I was curious because it seemed old enough to be connected to Johann Reinhold Forster or Georg Forster, who have many taxa named in their honour, but most of them are "forsteri". See also my current FAC Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Johann Reinhold Forster/archive1). —Kusma (talk) 09:34, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
