Botanical latin’s pronunciation:
Every vowel is pronounced, except diphthongs, which are treated as single long vowels.

I feel like this is a missed opportunity to spread the good news of the many other Latin pronunciation systems, particularly the traditional English system from which we get most of the English scientific pronuciations :)
Wow, i never realised how bastardized our pronunciations are in english lol. It’s very subconscious though, since we’ve normalized these words as english.
That’s caca and coocoo
