Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:

The specimen was marked as having been obtained from Oregon by J. Haldeman. But according to Hebard 1936, the "original labelling "Oregon" was due to the inexact or incorrect method often shown on natural history specimens secured on the early government expeditions to the Northwest."
