Palus Somni is an area of level but somewhat uneven terrain that lies along the northeastern edge of Mare Tranquillitatis and the Sinus Concordiae. It has a higher albedo than the lunar mare to the west, and is a shade of grey typical of continental terrain. A few minor craters lie within its borders, with the flooded Lyell along the west edge, Crile to the east, and Franz to the northwest. (wikipedia entry)
A palus is a "Swamp"; small plain. On the Moon they are named after latin terms describing weather and other abstract concepts.
