1931 UF. Discovered 1931 Oct. 18 by K. Reinmuth at Heidelberg.

This is a name of a plant. The first letters of planets(1227) through(1234) form the name G. Stracke. Due to the desire of Stracke that no planet be named after him it was in this manner that the discoverer was able to circumvent and to honor the noted German astronomer and diligent orbit computer. Stracke later was also honored by planet(1019). (H 114)

The same method to honor an astronomer by using consecutive initial letters was used again in 1995 — see the citation of planet(5699).
