Re: Correct plant names

**fran gustman f*@juno.com**

Has anyone else noticed that British and Americans pronunciation of
scientific names is not the same? I was reading through a pronuncation
guide and got myself in a dither finding that I had been pronouncing
every single plant incorrectly until I got to "clematis." This I knew I
had previously looked up. I checked to see where the book was published
and it was English.
