A Dictionary of the Plant Names of the Philippine Islands (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive, thorough dictionary of the native plant names from the Philippines, compiling about 70 indigenous dialects from different regions of the archipelago. From the mid-1500s onwards, Spanish writers and botanists have produced numerous descriptions of the Philippine flora, along with the native names used to refer to the different plant species. These diverse dialects have been used for centuries to categorize the flora of the Philippines, and this dictionary aims to create a definitive record of the native plant nomenclature traditionally used by the inhabitants of the islands. The author traveled extensively throughout the Philippines to collect and verify the information presented here, resulting in a comprehensive and invaluable reference work for anyone interested in the Philippine flora. It is a testament to the linguistic and botanical diversity of the Philippines, providing a foundation for further research on native Philippine species. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260356512_0
