RE: Anigozanthus pronunciation?

I don't know if this is the "right" way to pronounce it, but I remember the
botanical name for kangaroo paws this way:

"My name is Anigozanthus. You killed my kangaroo. Prepare to die."

This means absolutely nothing if you haven't seen the movie Princess Bride.
Sorry about that. (go see it! great movie!)
