That depends on one's local tradition of pronouncing Latin and hence latinesque Linnaean names. I believe there was a recommendation to render Latin <c> as Latin-mode-Lojban <c> (so, /S/) when converting Linnaeans, but I couldn't find the relevant text. Perhaps it was a TLI Loglan convention, not Lojban; I'm not entirely sure. Cf. also http://dag.github.com/cll/4/8/ (for me'evla).
