<DIV><BR></DIV>Re: galip<BR> <BR>1. The commonest , most significant,
<I>Canarium</I> species producing an edible nut in NG generally is clearly
<I>Canarium indicum </I>(see Yen 1996, and other papers in the same volume);
but several other species also produce nuts that are eaten, including <I>C.
kaniense</I>, <I>C. lamii</I>, <I>C. salomonense</I> (particularly in
Bougainville), and <I>C. decumanum</I> (Manus). Although firm ethnobotanical
information appears to be lacking, I would assume these (or some of them) are
(or may be) also called galip by TP speakers. Kocher Schmid (n.d.) for
instance notes this: “galip -<I>Canarium indicum</I> and other <I>C</I>.
spp”; and, in the case of timber, see Eddowes (1977) use of the term as a
“Standard Trade Common Name” that includes other <I>C</I>. spp. <BR>Note that
in recent years there has been an attempt to use galip as the <U>official
common name</U> for only <I>C. indicum</I> (Evans 1966: 11-13; Bourke
1996: 46; French 1986: 163-166).<BR> <BR>2. Confusingly, there are
a few parts of PNG where the TP galip is also used to refer to
<I>Terminalia</I> <I>kaernbachii</I>, for which the usual TP/common name is
okari (e.g. Daribi speakers at Karimui in Simbu province,
Hide et al 1984: 215).<BR> <BR>3. Chowning (2001: 82) pointed out
that Mihalic was originally wrong in defining galip as ‘Tahitian chestnut’
(e,g, <I>Inocarpus</I> ..)<BR> <BR> <BR>References
