It's Latin. It has Latin inflections (Ferocactus wislizenii), though 
horrid things like nodanotherwon may occur due to a lack of Latin and 
initiative among modern scientists (aliusalius would have been 
better!).

Tag it as Latin, and use a big Latin user dictionary to do your spell 
checking. That would be my advice.
