How do you pronounce Prumnopitys ladei?

Answer 1

I work on a related species, Prumnopitys taxifolia, in New Zealand.
I pronounce it Prum - no - pit - ees
Other people call it Prum - no - pit - iss
Either is fine.
I hope that helps - generally I don't concern myself too much if I don't know how to pronounce a Latin name. There are generally two or three accepted pronunciations so you're bound to hit one of them by sounding it out.
Can't help with ladei though, sorry.

My reference says Prum-NO-pit-ees LAY-dye. First element, being Greek, should have the stress on the "ante-penultimate" syllable - i.e. the last but two. The second element is a Latinisation of the name of the guy who named it, Lade, so pronounce his name "Lade" and add the usual "eye" scientific (though not linguistically correct) Latin genitive ending.
