La Plata vivel (vetenskapligt namn: Sphenophorus brunnipennis)
Since Sphenophorus brunnipennis is one of the many non-indigenous species to Sweden. finding information online entymology information is difficult. I would simply suggest "La Plata vivel" perhaps adding the scientific name as well so anyone who is interested can find it online. (By the way, the link you provided above has the scientific name written incorrectly; an h is missing. I have written it correctly here.)
