The Latin name pronunciations on pages in PlantFiles are woefully inaccurate, and often grotesque - can they be improved?
Some good info on pronunciation in Stearn's Botanical Latin, and a useful brief summary here:

PlantFiles: Latin pronunciation guide
resin, i, for one, really appreciate this link.
i have the book, 'Dictionary of Plant Names' by Coombes, published by Timber Press and have found it to be a wealth of information, specifically on pronunciation. incidentally, this book was first published under the name 'The Collingridge Dictionary of Plant Names', in Great Britain.
