peer agreement (net): +2retain the original Explanation: Lenga is found only in Chile and Argentina and is used AS A REPLACEMENT FOR BEECH, BIRCH ETC. Since this wood is found only in L.American countries, keep the original name. Since it would be recognised internationally and to aid cross-reference, put the latin name in brackets after the spanish (this is common practice anyway).
