When the more exotic varieties of pleco were first exported, the vast majority werent and still arent scientifically identified. The exporters use L numbers to correspond to a specific location, hence L. They are also to try and avoid the use of confusing common names eg, a super scarlet dragon hi-fin would be L***.
