What about Stokesia? In Latin, vowels determine syllables, and every
syllable is pronounced:
\ sto-KEE-zee-a \
But then I learned that this plant was named after an English botanist
named Jonathan Stokes, whose had one syllable. So I figure that
\ STOK-see-a \
is correct, and truer to the spirit of naming the plant after Mr.
Stokes.
