Larix occidentalis → Western larch – WP:NCFLORA sates that "Scientific names are to be used as article titles in all cases except when a plant has an agricultural, horticultural, economic or cultural use that makes it more prominent in some other field than in botany". Indeed, the Western larch is being harvested for the quality of its softwood [1]. Its economic benefit make it valuable enough that it was the first tree species targeted for an assisted migration program in Canada [2]. A google search of this tree yields mostly results related to its silviculture. Mottezen (talk) 08:24, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

• Support per WP:FLORA. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose inconsistent with other trees. A great many trees are used to some degree, none are at common name location Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:41, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

None are located at their common name? Are you sure? See Western white pine, Blue spruce, Pecan, Douglas fir, Fraser fir, Longleaf pine, just to name a few. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

• Support overwhelming common name according to NGRMAS[3] (t · c) buidhe 05:00, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
