 Plant Pronumciations

Fine Gardening's Guide to Pronouncing Botanical Latin

Gardeners often lament that they feel intimidated about pronouncing the Latin names of plants.

If you've avoided calling black snakeroot Cimicifuga racemosa because you didn't want to tie your tongue in knots, you're not alone. So we've decided to add a department to Fine

Gardening that lists the pronunciation of all the Latin names mentioned in that issue.
