Latin and commemorative names #2

I found the article I mentioned earlier on latin pronunciation.  It
mentioned the perfect example of "using discretion" on how to pronounce
latin plant names commemorating the discoverer of the plant:  Magnolia.
The name is in rememberance of one Mr. Magnol, whose name pronounced in
French would be Mon-YOL.  But nobody says Monyolia. :)
