Worth noting Ann Chownings's warnings, and details (p. 82, for instance: 
galip, pitpit, limbum, wail saksak, solomon, bitum, botol, piduk, valagur 
and lapuat), about some problematic, incorrect or missing plant terms in 
pidgin dictionaries (Mihalic and Murphy), in :

Chowning, A. (2001). Proto Melanesian plant names reconsidered. In: A. 
Pawley, M. Ross and D. Tryon, Eds. The boy from Bundaberg : studies in 
Melanesian linguistics in honour of Tom Dutton. Canberra, Pacific 
Linguistics, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 
Australian  National University, pp. 75-87.
