I disagree
loc_name is a local name, thus a name=*
but a common descriptive string isn't a name=* nor a loc_name=*

moreover I see no problem with a genus=* having one or more valid genus:xx

finally, many trees have more than one name in the local language, even 
in the same geographical area, so loc_name does not solve the problem 
better than genius:xx
