I studied Latin for three years in college, and then studied botanical
Latin on my own later. The stress is on the first syllable, and the u is
short: SPUR-i-a.
I'll once again plug my web page on "Pronouncing Botanical Latin" at the
Iris-L web site (see URL below) for anyone interested in this topic.
Cheers, Tom.
