A DICTIONARY OF THE NATIVE PUNT NAMES OF THEPHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

By Elmer D. ^Ikkrii.i., Botanist.

INTRODUCTIOX.

The preparation of the present work was undertaken at the request

of Capt. G. P. Ahern, Chief of the Forestry Bureau, the objeet

being to facihtate the work of the various employees of that

Bureau in identifying the tree species of economic importance

found in the Arcliipelago.

For the interests of the Forestry Bureau the names of the va-

rious tree species only are of importance, but in compiling this list

all plant names avaliable have been included in order to make the

present Avork more generally useful to those Americans resident in

the Archipelago who are interested in the vegetation about them.

In the preparation of this paper the double arrangement alpha-

betically, both under the native and scientific names, has been

deemed essential, the latter arrangement especially, because it is

often ver}" important to have all the synonyms of the native names

together in one place, and, moreover, the notes regarding the

species are best given under the scientific name in order to prevent

repetition of the same information under each of the native names

given for the same species. The family of each genus and short

notes regarding species of economic importance have been given

in order to aid in the identification of the species.

The native names used to dc!signate species of economic impor-

tance, those which produce edible fruits, medicinal plants, trees

valuable for timber, etc. , are almost invariably applied to the same

species, although in critical genera some variation and confusion

of names are found, which is to be expected. The names applied

to plants of little or no economic importance are frequently very

unreliable, and accordingly, in using this dictionary, whenever

6

possible the plant should be compared with at least the generic

description before accepting the scientific name to which the

native name refers.

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 mejor 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 scientific names of to-day, due to the present

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

Page 15: A dictionary of the plant names of the Philippine Islandsrainforestation.ph/resources/pdf/botanicalRefs/Merrill_1903_Dictionary_of_plant_names.pdfThefirstwasVigil's"Diccionario,"apamphletof50

never any serious attempt made to carefully compile the various

native plant names, and therefore the present list, though drawnfrom 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, etc., employ even a greater

variety of names in specifying the various species of plants than do

the more civilized tribes of the lands at lower elevations, but little

or no attention has ever been given to the names used by these

peoples. The limitations of the present enumeration can best be

realized from the fact that most of the names here recorded are

from perhaps 12 or 15 of the 70 or 80 dialects spoken by the various

peoples of the Archipelago. With the great variation of the namesin the same dialect, and the great number of dialects spoken in the

Archipelago, the task of compiling a complete or nearly complete

dictionary of the native plant names of the Archipelago is an

unending one, and one that could be completed only with great

difficulty even if the subject were of sufficient importance to war-

rant it.

Previously but two attempts have been made to compile anyextensive lists of the plant names used by the natives of the Archi-

pelago. The first was Vigil's "Diccionario, " a pamphlet of 50

pages published in the year 1879, which enumerates about 2,400

names, the identifications being largely based on Blanco's "Flora

de Filipinas." The second list is that given by Vidal in Appen-dix II to his "Sinopsis," where he enumerates al>out 1,800 namesof tree species, giving tne generic identifications only. Blanco,

in his index to the native names given in his "Flora," gives but a

small per cent of the total number enumerated in his text, while

F.-Villar gives no index to the native names in his "Novissima

Appendix, '

'

The words "puti" or "maputi" (white) and "pula" or "ma-pula" (red) are frequently used in combination with other words

to designate certain species, as are also the words "lalaqui" (man),

"babaye" (woman), "dagat" (ocean), "itim" (black), "usd"

(deer), "aso" (dog), "bundoc" or "gubat" (forest), and other

words. The prefix "mala" is used in the sense that we use the

word "false"—"malaacle" is "false acle," "malabanaba" is "false

Page 16: A dictionary of the plant names of the Philippine Islandsrainforestation.ph/resources/pdf/botanicalRefs/Merrill_1903_Dictionary_of_plant_names.pdfThefirstwasVigil's"Diccionario,"apamphletof50

8

banaba," etc. Frequently coml)inations of native and Spanish

words are used to designate certain species, such as "matang dia-

blo' ' ( Evodln) ,' 'the devil' s eye'

';

' 'malacafe' ' ( Glochidion ,Randia),

"false coffee." Sometimes some of the words introduced by the

Spaniards have persisted without change, such as tabaco, maiz, ca-

cao, pina, and others, while on the other hand some have become

greatly corrupted—for example, see the word "camanchiles" un-

der Pithccolohium didce (p. 176), or "achiiete/' under Bixa orellana

(p. 129).

Some of the introduced species are known only l)y their Spanish

names, Avhile for other species native names liave lieen adapted.

Of the names of Spanish origin we find two classes—those of pure

Spanish origin and those of American origin adopted by the Span-

iards and transmitted by them with the plants to the Philip-

pines. Of the former we have such names as coronitas (Lantana

caviara); manzanitas (Zizyphm jujuba); madre cacao {Gliricidia

m^iculata) ] dama de noche (Oestrum nocturnwn); hoya cruz (^Cres-

centia alata); caballero, or rosas de cahsdlero {Gnesalpinia pidcher-

7-ima). Of the second class we have such names as chicos (Achras

sapota); mamey or chico mamey {Lucunia mamrnosa); tabaco

(Nicotiana tabaco ) ; achenie {Bixa orellana) ] maiz (Zea mays); ca-

cuate (Arachis hypogaea) ; maguey {Agave americana) ; casuy (Ana-

cacdium occidentale);guayabas (Psidium giuvyaha). Among the

species that have been introduced into the Archipelago since the

Spanish occupation and to which the natives have adapted names

may be mentioned durang parang {Dalea nigra); macahiya, or

damohia, literally, "ashamed," suggested no doubt by the sensi-

tive leaves of the plant {Mimosa pudica); diluario {Argemone

mexicana), etc.

.Many of the native plant names are also the names of towns

such as Iba {Phyllanthus distichus), Quiapo {Pistia stratiotes) , Paco

(Asplcnium esculentum)^ Sampaloc or Salomague {Tamarindus in-

dica), Calumpit {Terminalia edidis), Iloilo {Aglaia argentea), and

others.

• During the past two hundred years there has been considerable

change in many of the native plant names, as is proved by an

examination of the earlier publications on Philippine l>otany,

such as the works of Camell, Mercado, and Delgado. In all these

works, but especially in the first, are found a very large number of

names which are unknown to us to-day, and many of the ones of

Page 17: A dictionary of the plant names of the Philippine Islandsrainforestation.ph/resources/pdf/botanicalRefs/Merrill_1903_Dictionary_of_plant_names.pdfThefirstwasVigil's"Diccionario,"apamphletof50

9

well-known species are spelled quite diilerently from their accepted

form to-day. One example from Camell's work, published in the

year 1704, is sufficient to illustrate this point: Camell's "Conyza

Helenitis odoris salviae' ' is undoubtedly the plant known to-day

as Blumea balsamifera DC, and Camell gives the following native

names for his species, which should be compared with those given

under Blumea halsamifera on page 139 : Samhon, Lacarhulan,

Lagdanbulan, Anacadbulan^ Olacdanbulan, Guitingf/vitan, Gabuen,

Lalacdan, Ayolan, Alibon, Hantilibun.

None of the names of these earlier authors, not found in later

publications, are included in the present publication, for the reason

that we can not accurately identify many of the species.

So far as the dialects of the various names were determinable

they have been specified by the following abbreviations : B., Bicol;

Cag., Cagayan; Ig. , Igorrote; II., Ilocano; Mang. , Mangyane;

Pamp., Pampangan; Pang., Pangasinan; Sp., Spanish; Sp.-Fil.

,

Spanish-Filipino; T. , Tagalog; V., Visayan ; Z., Zambales. Fre-

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 of the Spanish authors gave little or no attention to accen-

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,

Page 18: A dictionary of the plant names of the Philippine Islandsrainforestation.ph/resources/pdf/botanicalRefs/Merrill_1903_Dictionary_of_plant_names.pdfThefirstwasVigil's"Diccionario,"apamphletof50

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 native names is Tavera in his "Plantas Medicinales."

In this work the consonants are pronounced as follows: g always

as in get ; h a gutturalized aspirate ; A; as in English ; w always as the

initial iv in English, as win, won; g as ng in sing, hung, etc. While

this method of spelling the native names has much to commend

it, it has not been adopted in the present work, for the reason that

no attempt has been made by the Americans so far to change the

spelling of the words of the native dialects, and accordingly it was

deemed advisable to retain the plant names under the spelling

recorded.
