ACCENT AND QUANTITY. 
The marks over the generic and specific names, have refer- 
ence, not only to the syllable which is to be accented , but to the 
quantity of the vowel in the accented syllable, as either long- or 
shoj't. 
Those syllables over which the single mark is placed, have 
the vowel pronounced long, as in Fra-ga-ri-a : those over 
which the double ma7'k is placed, have the rowel pronoun- 
ced short, as fn He-pat"-i ca ; in the latter case, the stress of 
voice seems thrown upon the consonant, the two marks may, 
therefore be considered as indicating that the consonant, as well 
as vowel is accented. 
The general rule respecting words of two syllables is simple, 
and renders it unnecessary to prefix to such words the marks 
for accent and quantity. 
Words of two syllables always have the accent on the Jirst ; 
if the syllable end with a vowel it is long as in Cro-cus ; if it 
end with a consonant it is shot't, as in Cac -tus.
