It is just an amusing coincidence.  I had thought that your name might come from something in your culture, but I got sidetracked by that Old US Government document about seeds. 😄 

 

ADDED:  I just ran "Burro Oscuro" through the Google Translator, which said that it was Italian for "Dark Butter"!

I then clicked on "Spanish" and the translation changed to "Dark Donkey", as I had suspected.  😄 

 

It is a plant native to Mexico and Honduras and is often called "Donkey's Tail".
