NEWSFLASH: THERE IS ACTUALLY A WORD THAT RHYMES WITH ORANGE!!!
Sporange: a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant).

Actually, despite their spelling similarities, orange and sporange do not rhyme. The site won't let me use diacriticals, so I put their pronunciations into a .jpg image.

Actually, it's more like OH-rinj versus spuh-RANJ. But, hey, who really says "sporange" enough for it to have a standardised pronunciation, anyway?
