Maurelii; Question about pronunciation.
I have a bunch of Maurelii growing like crazy in my bay window. I can't wait to get them outside, in about a month, or so.
My question here is how do you pronounce the first name; is it En-set, or En-setee?

Re: Maurelii; Question about pronunciation.
To paraphrase an expert on botanical latin, "botanical latin is primarily a written language, it doesn't really matter how it's pronounced as long as it sounds pleasant and you get your point across"
my 2 cents it's EN-SET  |

Re: Maurelii; Question about pronunciation.
Whenever I've heard it spoken it's been EN-SET.
Although I read it as en-set-ee. |
