PRONUNCIATION OF BOTANICAL NAHES 

 USED IN READER. 



The accent mark will usually be sufficient to indicate the pronuncia- 

 tion, since it is customary to give the English sounds of the letters in 

 Latin names. If the accented syllable ends in a consonant the vowel is 

 long, otherwise it is short ; se has the sound of long e. A few Spanish 

 names are included in the list, but generally these will be familiar to 

 Californiaus.
