Learning Latin with Country Breakfast

Heard on Country Breakfast this morning, in an interview with a farmer of Australian bush tucker plants (paraphrase):

Interviewer: "So, the Finger lime is Microcitrus australien ... Micro, that would mean 'small'? Citrus: 'citrus-like'. And australien ... that would be 'Australian'?"

Farmer: "Yes."

Asked without a hint of irony, and it's not a show for primary school children.
