I'd usually pronounce it 'bellflower', but if you need to use the Latin name, here's my attempt:

codonopsis lanceolata

Dear Bees,

I hope you are well and enjoying your day.

I am really glad to have joined the ESL-Test.Net.
This is a friendly learning environment and you are all wonderful people.

The “Old Captain” is a very beautiful story.
I have just listened to how you have read it.
I could listen to your reading 24 hours a day!
I want to say that you are the best story-teller and tutor.

I would be very grateful if you would provide useful comments and
suggestions on my writing, speaking, pronunciation and accent.

Thank you so much, and may all your days be blessed and full of happiness.

Respectfully,

Evylinda

Bellflower? #4 (permalink) Fri Jun 17, 2011 17:48 pm   Bellflower?
 

I looked up the dictionary the word, bellflower.
I don't think it is not the same word that I am looking for.
Codonopsis lanceolate and bellflower are both root, but not the same.

I really really want to buy this plant, codonopsis lanceolata, for cooking, but I haven't seen them in the USA.
