:::Just to explain (since GF's got little to do with the spelling at the moment), Pachira is pronounced [http://www.flowersandplantsassociation.org.uk/plants/facts/m-r/pachira_aquatica.htm with a 'k' sound], which is why パキラ has キ and not チ, because in English, the 'ch' is rendered 'k'. Loanwords in Japanese use characters as close to its original pronunciation as possible, and its roman-character spelling has little influence. Ultimately, it's like how our article on [[Iris]] was at Iris and not Airisu...because Iris is a loanword.
