Selected
murrina
Do not translate it.
But , depending from the context, you may want to use the plural
murrine
(I say this because the Wikipedia voice is for the plural, as if MURRINE were more commonly used as a general term).
You can also choose to put in quotation marks, followed by a very short explanation in parenthesis.
