Default French for Black Locust

Yes Leif you are right, it's sauterelle. black locust is called
"robinier", sometimes "faux acacia" (false acacia), because of the
latin name "robinia pseudo acacia". I've never heard someone here
saying "sauterelle noire" for a tree, but I always like the way our
Canadian cousins translate English words (thinking to hot dog *G*).
