Botanical books and other references are limited and, if ever they are available, the cost of these materials is beyond the seach of the majority of students and even school libraries This new hook, A Pictorial Cyclopedia of Philippine Ornamental Plants, by Dr. Domingo A Madulil, Scientist, Curator 1 of the Botany Division, as it answers the need for such a book. I will definitely contribute to the pulilc’s greater awareness and deeper appreciation of the beautiful plants in the Philippines, which will ultimately lead our people to exert more efforts in conserving and protecting our environment, especially the forests where most of the endemic plants are found ational Museum is timely and relevant ‘The author deserves commendation for his initiative in dovetailing his hasic botanical research and ‘writing the text of this book in a manner and language that are both understandable and interesting. It will be very useful not only to researchers and scientists, but also to teachers, students, environmentalist, plant hobbyists, gardeners, tourists, and the general public. Iris our fervent hope that the author will continue to share his other scientific studies through various le material, and that other museum researchers in the different disciplines covered by the National Sip. ‘Our commendation goes to the principal author as well as to the many workers who had assisted him in this endeavour, Let this be just the start of closer collaboration between Bookmark, Inc. and the National publis Museum will similarly carry on the same dedication and concern for schol Museum ia fulfilling a commitment towards book publishing of more scientific books about the Philippines, in order to provide our educational system with valuable yet affordable reference books. Gane S. Casat Director National Museum PREFACE The Philippines is topical paradise endowed with numerous ornamental plants wich come in vatious forms, shapes, sizes and colors. Local residents and foreign visitors alike ae often attracted and impressed by the beauty of the ormamental plants around them, that hey want to know more about these plants, Some of the often asked questions are the local or common names of the plants, where these plants came from, and how these plants are propagated. Unfortunately, there are very few local publications dealing on this subject, and some of them are long out-of-print. This has created a wide information gap that prevailed for many years, extending to ‘This book was prepared with one primary aim, ie. to fill the long-felt ned for an easy-to-consult and up to-date eyelopaedia on Philippine ornamental plants for general reference use. More than 1,000 plant species and ‘aretes are covered in this book, but the actual numberof ornamental plants found in the country is no doubt ‘much more. However, itis not possible to cover all species and varieties of omnamental plants i the Philippines at this stage because of limited time and financial resources available to the author. Nevertheless effort was ‘made to gather ay much material as possible. For those plants not included in this book, an attempe will he made to include them ina subsequent edition. ‘The content of this book has heen greatly enriched by the opportunities afforded tothe author, to travel to ‘various parts ofthe country in search for ornamental plants. Aside from his extensive local travels, the author has had opportunities to visit hotanic gardens and parks in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hawai ‘There, he took notes and photographs of ornamental plants commonly shared by the countries and the Philip pines. Moreover, writing a book like this required reference to numerous past and current publications on honiculture, gardening and systematic botany. The author made extensive use of his personal library, the rich botanical library of the National Museum, Manila and the libraries of other institutions hese and abroad, ‘This book isa popular guide to the identification of ornamental plants inthe Philippines. Thus, the taxa axe provided with photograph(s), short reference to the plan’ currently accepted scientific name, relevant synonyin(s), local name(s), and short description of the plant—notes about the plan's distribution in the Philippines and in other countries ts habitat, cultural requirements, method of propagation, and origin ofits name. Not al plant entries, however, are provided with ll of ahve information, COnly English, Spanish and selected vernacular names of plants are included in this hook. Those interested ina more comprehensive listing of local plant names in the Philippines, and their equivalent scientific names, may consult the Dictionary of Philippine Plant Names (Maduli, in press). ‘The scientific names adopted in this hook are based mainly on two references: the Anteruational Code of Botanical Nomenclature KCB) for natural species and varieties, and the bnlernational Code of Nomenclature of Guitivated Plants (\GNCP) for honicutural varieties (also known as cultivars) and hybrids. Thus, readers should be aware ofthe distinction between a natural variety, which is designated in this book by the prefix “var,” and the horticultural variety or eukivar which is designed by tho prefix “ev.,” or by the varietal name of the plant enclosed in single quotation mark with the intial words in capital letters, Dofla Aurora’ In order to conform to the pattern set hy popular international horticultural hooks, the scientific names adopted in the classic Hortus Third (1976) is follower, For names which are not mentioned in said reference, the i in Mentill An Enumeration of Philippine Flowering Plants or in mote recent botanical publications (ie. revisions oF monographs of genera and families) were consulted Some scientific names in the book may not have designated authors, These are the names of plants of no botanical standing (according to Hortus Third) and are meant only for horticultural distinction. In accordance with the ICBN, the names of plant families end with -aceae, except for some families which have been given two alternative names, both sanctioned by the ICBN, hence: Umbeliferae/Apiaceac; Compositae/Asteraceae; Gruciferae/Brassicaceae; Gramineae/Poaceae; Guliferae/Clusiaceae; Labiatae/Lamiaceae; Leguminosae’ Fabaceae; and Palmae/Arecaceae.
