Saying it right

Yesterday when I looked up a link for my French lavender, aka lavandula dentata, I saw a pronunciation guide for the Latin name. You say it, "lav-AN-dew-lah den-TAY-tuh." This was a good thing for me to learn, as when I was reading it, in my mind I was saying "lav-an-DOO-lah den-TAH-tuh." Now I know the proper pronunciation.
