pronunciation of chrysographes


Someone asked last week about the correct pronunciation
of Iris chrysographes. At the time, I wasn't sure. I've
since checked it out. According to the usual rules for
pronouncing species names in English, it would be

kry-SOG-ra-feez

(with the stress on the second syllable).

Happy irising, Tom.
