Eschscholtzii pronunciation refers back to the right approach to pronounce the scientific identify of the California poppy, Eschscholzia californica.
The identify “Eschscholtzii” honors the German-Baltic naturalist Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, who first collected the plant in 1816. The right pronunciation of the genus identify is “esh-SHOLTS-ee-eye”, with the emphasis on the second syllable.
