He added that even if these gentlemen knew Latin (which Kalm spoke fluently "in the Ciceronian way"), it was useless "because their pronunciation is incomprehensible". See The Linnaean Correspondance (http://linnaeus.c18.net/).

>> I remember a talk by Max Walters to an international botanical audience. Every latin name occurred twice in a row, the fist pronounced the English way and the second the more "general European" way, so that all botanists attending could understand what he was saying about «Silene diclinis Silene diclinis".
