We've had pronunciation discussions on here quite often and I don't think
any one group has ever 'convinced' any other group! I say CLEMatis and
my husband says CleMAYtis. I say Kernomeles (Chaenomeles) and he says
SheNOMeles etc. etc. I suspect most of us pronounce the names of plants
as
they are first taught to us by whoever - I'm sure I do.

Senecio as senekio I cannot get used to though so I say seneesio
which I am sure is wrong.

I'm sure it must be. Because I say 'senekio'. ;-))
