This planet is named for the large forests that the discoverer enjoyed tramping through even as a small boy. Mrs. Edith Eveleth, sister of the discoverer, stated: “In Heidelberg he climbed up and down from the city to the Königstuhl through deep woods; for holidays he tramped through the Black Forest, the Odenwald and all the forest within reach.” (H 56) _ _.
