Quote from an essay about botanical name pronunciation:
\nA Great website!<\/p>\n

Before I leave off this essay on pronunciation, I feel I must quote a lovely poem from Johnson and Smith’s Plant Names Simplified about the genus Cyclamen, a Mediter-
\nranean member of the Primulaceae, which goes like this:
\nHow shall we sound its mystic name
\nOf Greek descent and Persian fame?
\nShall “y” be long and “a” be short,
\nOr will the “y” and “a” retort?
\nShall “y” be lightly rippled o’er,
\nOr should we emphasise it more?
\nAlas! The doctors disagree,
\nFor “y’s” a doubtful quantity.
\nSome people use it now and then,
\nAs if ’twere written “Sickly-men”;
\nBut as it comes from kuklos, Greek,
\nWhy not “kick-laymen,” so to speak?
\nThe gardener, with his ready wit,
\nUpon another mode has hit;
\nHe’s terse and brief — long names dislikes,
\nAnd so he renders it as “Sykes.”<\/p>\n

And when struggling with what appear to be inconsistencies, it is best to recall the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,” Oscar Wilde, “Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative,” and finally, Aldous Huxley, “Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.”
