I have a couple of acquaintances who relish correcting mispronounced names, to me it is insignificant, if they understood what I was saying, I have accomplished what communication is all about.
It's like an Italian trying to figure out what aussie-aah-go cheese is.
crittergarden, you're correct, some of the classification names reflected the flower characteristics, like pentaflora would indicate a 5 petaled flower. Some of the names seem inaccurate after the classification was sorted out.
