A DICTIONARY OF THE NATIVE PUNT NAMES OF THE
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
INTRODUCTIOX.
Most of the names in the present work not compiled from data
on the specimens now in the herbarium have been taken from the
following works: Blanco, "Flora de Filipinas," first edition, 1837,
and second edition, 1845; Fernandez-Villar and Naves, "Novis-
sima Appendix ad Floram PhiHppinarum, " 1880-1883; Vigil,
"Diccionario de los nombres vulgares que se dan en filijHnas a mu-
chas plantas usuales y notables," 1879; Vidal, S., "Sinopsis de
familias y generos de plantas leiiosas de filipinas," 1883; "Reseiia
de la flora del archipielago filipino," 1883; "Revision de plantas
vasculares de filipinas," 1886; Ceron, "Catalogo de las plantas del
herbario," 1892; Puigdulles, "Apuntes para el me j or conocimien-
to, clasificacion, y valuacion de las principales especiales arboreo-
forestales de filipinas, " 1895; Tavera, "Plantas medicinales de fili-
pinas, " 1892; Espejo, "Cartilla de agricultura filipina," 1892;

'Catalogo de la exposiciun general de las islas filipinas, ' Madrid,
1887; "Guia oficial de las iolas filipinas," 1898.
In many instances much difficulty was experienced in properly
referring many of the native names recorded in some of these
works to the accepted names of to-day, due to the present
scientific
chaotic state of Philippine botany. The greatest difficulty v*'as met
with in attempting to properly refer the many names given by
Blanco, for, in spite of all the work done on the Philippine flora
since the publication of Blanco's "Flora de Filipinas," his species
are to-day very imperfectly known. In most cases in referring
the native names given by Blanco to their scientific names I have
followed F.-Villar in his generic identifications, as given in the
Novissima Appendix, but, except in the case of widely distributed
and well-known species, his specific identificati(jns have been
discarded. In identifying Blanco's species F.-Villar made few
errors in his generic identifications, l:»ut his specific identifications
of a large per cent of the species can not be accepted.
The present paper enumerates about 5,000 plant names used by
natives of the Philippines, and has been compiled chiefly from the
publications of the various Spanish botanists who have worked on
the flora of the Archipelago. So far as possible these names have
been compared with the names on specimens in the herl)arium of
this Bureau for verification. It seems that in the past there was
never any serious attempt made to carefully compile the various
native plant names, and therefore the present list, though drawn
from many sources, is comparatively incomplete. By far the
greater number of names in the present enumeration are those of
the Tagalog language, while of many of the dialects spoken in
the Archipelago not a single plant name has ever been recorded.
It is probable that the people of the mountain tribes, the Ne-
gritos, the Igorrotes, the Mangyanes, employ even a greater
etc.,
Some of the introduced species are known only l)y their Spanish
names, Avhile for other species native names liave lieen adapted.
quently, where the dialect of the name is not specified, the name of
the island or province where the name is used has been given in
parentheses. It has been impossible to identify the dialects of a
large number of the names for the reason that many of the Spanish
investigators did not consider such data of sufficient value to warrant
recording the same. With the exception of the data compiled from
the herbarium of this Bureau, the authority for the dialects of the
various names is that of the several Spanish investigators, and cer-
tain allowance must be made for errors.
Most Spanish authors gave little or no attention to accen-
of the
tuation, and frequently where accent marks were given they were
erroneously placed. In the present paper an attempt has been made
to properly accent the various words, and with this end in view all
the names have been carefully checked over with various native
employees of the office familiar with many of the dialects.
As the names have been compiled from different works of Spanish
authors, it is to be presumed that the latter recorded the native
names by the phonetic system of spelling, giving the different letters
the same values as in the Spanish language. A cursory examination
of the following work will show at once that there is a great varia-
tion in the spelling of the same word, e and i, o and u, and fre-
quently i and y have the same values and are interchangeable. With
the exception of ng, which is pronounced like Jig in sing, bring,
10
etc., the letters in the various words have the same values as in the
Spanish language.
The only Philippine author who has used any other method of
spelling the nativenames is Tavera in his "Plantas Medicinales."
In this work the consonants are pronounced as follows: g always
as in geth a gutturalized aspirate ; A; as in English w always as the
; ;
