<strong>Correspondence</strong> <strong>Between</strong> <strong>Vernacular</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>Names</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> Littoral Forest Plants in the Tolagnaro Area<br />

Abstract<br />

We list the names <strong>of</strong> 519 different plant taxa associated<br />

with their common <strong>and</strong> binomial nomenclatures.<br />

The vast majority <strong>of</strong> the common names are<br />

from the Tanosy dialect <strong>of</strong> southeastern Madagascar.<br />

These lists should facilitate the integration <strong>of</strong> villagers<br />

with local ethnobotanical knowledge into different<br />

research <strong>and</strong> conservation work, <strong>and</strong> provide<br />

scientists with a quick <strong>and</strong> largely reliable tool for<br />

correlating scientific <strong>and</strong> vernacular names when<br />

working with traditional experts.<br />

Résumé<br />

Correspondances entre les noms vernaculaires et<br />

les noms scientifiques des plantes de la forêt littorale<br />

de la région de Tolagnaro. Nous énumérons<br />

les noms de 519 taxons de plantes différentes avec<br />

leurs nomenclatures binomiales et vernaculaires. La<br />

gr<strong>and</strong>e majorité des noms vernaculaires sont du<br />

dialecte Tanosy du sud-est de Madagascar. Ces listes<br />

devraient permettre de mieux intégrer les villageois<br />

disposant de connaissances ethnobotaniques dans les<br />

divers travaux de recherche et de protection de la<br />

nature mais sont aussi destinées aux scientifiques<br />

qui disposent ainsi d'un outil rapide et relativement<br />

fiable pour mettre en relation les noms scientifiques<br />

et les noms vernaculaires lorsqu'ils travaillent avec<br />

des experts traditionnels.<br />

Introduction<br />

Since 1758, with the publication <strong>of</strong> Carl von Linné's<br />

Systema Naturae, every described organism has a<br />

corresponding scientific name that follows a binomial<br />

classification. The number <strong>of</strong> flowering plant<br />

species currently recognized in the world surpasses<br />

235000 (Given 1994), <strong>and</strong> this binomial system<br />

lends order to such diversity. Humans have been<br />

Faly R<strong>and</strong>riatafika <strong>and</strong> Johny Rabenanto<strong>and</strong>ro<br />

using plants since primordial times <strong>and</strong> thus, in most<br />

cases, each human cultural group has a vernacular<br />

(common or local) name for the plants they use. In<br />

Madagascar, different names are given to the same<br />

plant species depending on the local context,<br />

because there are several Malagasy dialects, <strong>and</strong> several<br />

ethnobotanical uses. It is rare for a single<br />

common name to be associated with a specific plant<br />

species in the Linnaean sense. Local Malagasy<br />

names are <strong>of</strong>ten based on the appearance, physical<br />

properties, <strong>and</strong> uses <strong>of</strong> the plant.<br />

Naturally, most local guides working with biologists<br />

on plant inventories are unfamiliar with scientific<br />

names <strong>and</strong> instead use local vernacular names. Given<br />

the negative potentialities <strong>of</strong> using the vernacular name<br />

system with the various regional, dialectal, <strong>and</strong> cultural<br />

differences mentioned above, it was important to<br />

establish a lexicon <strong>of</strong> local Malagasy plant names used<br />

in the Tolagnaro region that corresponded with the<br />

binomial system used by scientists. The goal was tw<strong>of</strong>old:<br />

to have a tool that enables villagers with local ethnobotanical<br />

knowledge to be integrated into different<br />

research <strong>and</strong> conservation work, <strong>and</strong> to provide scientists<br />

with a quick <strong>and</strong> largely reliable tool for correlating<br />

scientific <strong>and</strong> vernacular names when working<br />

with traditional experts.<br />

Methods<br />

Data collection<br />

Our ability to align scientific <strong>and</strong> local common<br />

names is based on several different methods.<br />

Researchers, students, <strong>and</strong> members <strong>of</strong> the QMM<br />

environmental team have been involved in various<br />

QIT Madagascar Minerals, BP 225, Tolagnaro 614,<br />

types <strong>of</strong> botanical research since 1990, including the<br />

collection <strong>of</strong> voucher specimens. During the course<br />

<strong>of</strong> these collections, local botanical experts were<br />

able to provide vernacular names associated with<br />

specimens in h<strong>and</strong>. Further, certain names have been<br />

taken from published papers <strong>and</strong> student theses<br />

(R<strong>and</strong>riatafika 2000, Ralison 2001, Bollen 2003).<br />

Information was also obtained from the Missouri<br />

Botanical Garden's TROPICOS database<br />

(http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/vast.html).<br />

Taxonomy follows Schatz (2001).<br />

List choices<br />

Tables 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 are based on knowledge <strong>of</strong> vernacular<br />

names using the various compilations <strong>and</strong> information<br />

available. The vast majority are from the<br />

Tanosy dialect <strong>of</strong> southeastern Madagascar. Species<br />

whose common names are not known do not appear<br />

on the list. Since most <strong>of</strong> the species found in the<br />

Tolagnaro littoral zone can also be found at times in<br />

other types <strong>of</strong> ecosystems, surveys were conducted<br />

in collaboration with villagers to check the corresponding<br />

vernacular names <strong>and</strong> to reduce inconsistencies.<br />

Lists<br />

We list the binomial nomenclature <strong>and</strong> common<br />

names <strong>of</strong> 519 different plant taxa. To enhance the<br />

utility <strong>of</strong> the lists, they are first presented alphabetically<br />

by binomial name (Table 1) <strong>and</strong> then alphabetically<br />

by vernacular name (Table 2).<br />

In some cases, there is a close correspondence<br />

between the binomial <strong>and</strong> vernacular name, with the<br />

former being derived from the latter. For example,<br />

Intsia bijuga (Fabaceae) is commonly called hintsy<br />

in various places on Madagascar. The same holds<br />

true for the ravinala, which corresponds with<br />

Ravenala madagascariensis (Strelitziaceae).<br />

In other cases, although there may be differences<br />

in morphological traits, a common name usually corresponds<br />

to a generic name. This is the case, for<br />

example, with n<strong>of</strong>otrakoho, which is used for four<br />

different species <strong>of</strong> Vitex (Lamiaceae). Sometimes<br />

qualifying adjectives are tagged onto the root <strong>of</strong> the<br />

name to differentiate the species, such is the case<br />

with fanolamena (mena = red) <strong>and</strong> fanolafotsy (fotsy<br />

= white). The former corresponds to Asteropeia<br />

micraster <strong>and</strong> the latter to A. multiflora<br />

(Asteropeiaceae). This is also the case with fontondahy<br />

(dahy derived from lahy = man) (Leptolaena<br />

pauciflora; Sarcolaenaceae) <strong>and</strong> fontombavy (bavy<br />

derived from vavy = woman) (L. delphinensis). A<br />

common name may also correspond to a family<br />

name, for example nanto is the name used for all<br />

species <strong>of</strong> Sapotaceae. In some cases, several common<br />

names correspond to the same Latin name:<br />

arambilo, hetatra <strong>and</strong> harambilo refer to Podocarpus<br />

madagascariensis (Podocarpaceae), <strong>and</strong> bamby <strong>and</strong><br />

babo both correspond to Anthostema madagascariensis<br />

(Euphorbiaceae). Other examples include<br />

Diporidium ciliatum (Ochnaceae), which is known<br />

as sakaimboalavo, <strong>and</strong> lona, or Buxus madagascarica<br />

(Buxaceae) may be both hazomboanjo <strong>and</strong><br />

soazanahary. Conversely, Homalium planiflorum<br />

<strong>and</strong> Ludia antanosarum (Flacourtiaceae) correspond<br />

to the same name, zorafotsy.<br />

Discussion<br />

Aspects <strong>of</strong> the etymology <strong>of</strong> the vernacular names<br />

tabulated during the course <strong>of</strong> this project led to a<br />

certain heterogeneity that is <strong>of</strong>ten due to the style <strong>of</strong><br />

information transmission <strong>and</strong> recording. The following<br />

points should be highlighted:<br />

• The different spellings for a common name vary<br />

depending on the region, location, dialect, <strong>and</strong><br />

person using it.<br />

• There is a certain level <strong>of</strong> variation in common<br />

names from the same region for the same plant.<br />

• The list <strong>of</strong> common names is an important tool to<br />

facilitate plant identification, but it cannot be<br />

considered a determining factor in assigning a<br />

binomial name.<br />

• In order to properly identify plants, it is always<br />

recommended that voucher samples be collected<br />

<strong>and</strong> identified using herbaria collections.<br />

The contribution over the past decade <strong>of</strong> the local<br />

population living near the research sites has been a<br />

key factor in the advancement <strong>of</strong> several different<br />

projects. The lists presented herein <strong>of</strong> common<br />

names for different plant taxa is thus a fundamental<br />

tool in enabling scientists <strong>and</strong> technicians to optimize<br />

collaborative work with villagers. In a regional<br />

framework, these tabulations may help managers,<br />

village associations, <strong>and</strong> decision-makers when<br />

drafting reports <strong>and</strong> documents relating to the sustainable<br />

management <strong>of</strong> natural resources.<br />
