Ganz auf deutsch. Welwitsch war oesterreichischen. I never try to grow anything I can't pronounce, since I talk to my plants. I follow Bowles, though, with things like Crocus cvijicii, who said the specific epithet should be played on the violin. (I've only mastered the kazoo.) Or Farrer, when he suggested that one could pronounced tchihatchewii by blowing one's nose.
