I'm glad it was obvious to someone (Thanks, Sed5555, for IDing it

The pronounciation is a little surprising. The bush is named after someone
named Cotone, and the final e is not silent. So the bush is a cot tone ee

This was going to be my next question. :-) I knew "cotton-easter" was
wrong, but couldn't recall the correct pronunciation. Thanks.
