In Manus, c. 1980, Ere-Kele and Nali TP speakers distinguished <i>C.
decumanum</i> (ngali) from <i>Canarium indicum</i> (galip). But ngali and
cognates can also refer to <i>C. indicum</i> (Solomons) and
<i>Terminalia</i> spp (Baluan). Galip is also sometimes used for species
other than <i>Canarium.<br><br>
</i>Thus, it is unwise to expect tight correspondence between species and
TP terms. (It is also unwise to assume that casual identifications of
species by outsiders are necessarily correct.)<br><br>
For a review of ethnobotanical information on <i>Canarium</i> spp, see

Southwest Pacific. Technical Report Working Paper No.50, Resource
