8 Colorado
(Sp. model spelled same [koloráðo], perfective participle of Spanish colorar 'to color; to give color to' < Spanish color < Latin color 'color')1) The thirty-eighth state of the union, named after the Colorado River. Hendrickson indicates that Spanish explorers named the river after the red color of its water.2) Carlisle: 1929. Red.3) As Clark observes, it is used as an attributive adjective in many combinations to denote animals (such as the "Colorado potato beetle" and the "Colorado turkey"), plants ("Colorado blue spruce," "Colorado fir," "Colorado grass," "Colorado River hemp") indigenous to the state. It often has a jocular connotation, as in "Colorado turkey," which can be either the great blue heron or the wood ibis, and "Colorado mockingbird" (see below). The combinations pertinent to the cowboy's era or profession are listed below. -

16 Oregon
( oregón [oregón] < orejón? [orexón] < Latin auriculam 'little ear' and the Spanish augmentative -ón)The thirty-third state admitted to the Union in 1850. Hendrickson's contention that the model for Oregon may be the "Spanish oregones, meaning 'big-earred men' and referring to Indians who lived there" is unlikely, since the form could only result from a scribal error ({g} for {j})in Spanish and a spelling pronunciation in English. More likely sources are the other possibilities he points out: (1) "the Algonquian Wauregan (beautiful water) for the Colorado River" or (2) "an unclear Indian name possibly meaning 'place of the beaver' that was misspelled on an early French map." Thus Oregon is probably not a Hispanicism. -
17 Hemp
A fibre obtained from the stalk of the plant " Cannibis sativa." It is inferior in quality to flax, but stronger and easily bleached. It is grown in India, Italy, Russia, Poland and many other countries. The better grades are used in the manufacture of carpets. It is obtained in a similar manner to flax by retting, breaking, crushing, cutting and hackling. It is not rotted by water and is much used for ropes, sailcloth, etc. (see common Hemp). Hemp Varieties - Among the different varieties of hemp appearing in trade are the following: - Ambari (or brown) hemp, Bengal (or Bombay) hemp, Blackfellow's hemp, Bowstring (Africa), Bowstring (Florida), Calcutta hemp (jute), Cebu, Colorado River, Cretan, Cuban, False hemp (America), False sisal hemp. Giant hemp (China), Hayti, Ife, Indian, Jubbulpore (Madras), Manila, New Zealand hemp (or flax), Pangane, Pita, Pua (India), Queensland, Rangoon, Roselle, Sisal, Sunn, Swedish, Tampico, Water, Wild, Italian (see under each name) ————————NEW ZEALAND FLAX, or HEMPThe fibre obtained from the Phormium Tenax plant which is a native of New Zealand and South Australia. The fibre is very white, soft and flexible and has a high lustre. It differs from most hemp fibres in that it is obtained from the leaf and not the bast. It is not so fine or regular as true flax, nor does it spin as well, but it is superior to either flax or hemp in its tenacity. It is largely used for cordage, twine and floor-matting, through the best fibre is woven into a duck fabric closely resembling linen. There are numerous local names for this plant - The common variety of the lowland swamps is Harakeke, that of the higher ground is Paritanewha, and the best variety is called Taihore. The fibre is generally known as Muka. -

20 concho grass
( concho [kón,t∫o]< Spanish concha [see above])DARE: 1884. Texas millet ( compare with Colorado grass). According to the DARE, the name of this grass probably comes from the Concho River in Texas, but it may derive from Spanish concho, meaning cornhusk (the DRAE confirms that concho has this meaning in Ecuador). Cobos notes that in New Mexico and southern Colorado, maíz concho is a type of large grain corn.
