That's pretty close anyway. The "X" is prounounced "sh".

Of course, you could just call it var. gigantea!
I had a prof in College who was chinese with an X name(Xiang) and it was a zh sound. I say

zhee-shwong-bah-nah-en-sis

LOL

I had this one here in NC in the ground from Gabe and left it, hoping my dad would water it and the new sikkimensis Red Tiger seedling I had in the ground and it died in the drought. All the others did alright though.
