  • Fromager est un nom vernaculaire ambigu désignant en français certains arbres de la famille des Bombacaceae (ou Malvaceae). L'origine du nom pourrait aussi être expliquée par la déformation de l'expression « forme âgée » inspirée par les reliefs du tronc évoquant des rides. Ce nom est aussi utilisé pour des arbres proches biologiquement ou morphologiquement de ces derniers. Certains l'appellent encore « Piroguier », pour son utilisation fréquente dans la construction de pirogues. (fr)
