Abstract

This paper talks about the folk names of plant species in Jezera on the island of Murter. During a series of botanical research for autochthonous flora on the island of Murter, 618 species and sub-species (ferns and spermatophytes) as well as 143 cultivated species were recorded. In the dialectological phytonic research conducted in Jezera, 132 folk names were recorded out of the total number.
Compared to the names of plant species on the island of Murter, 63 names are completely the same, 12 names have a slight differences based on the vocal systems of these two speeches (the opposites f/h, l/lj as in fafarinka – haharinka, čavljak – čavjak), while 15 names are similar based on their root words (for instance totovika – tetevika). Finally, 20 names are completely different, while for 20 Jezera names, parallels with the speech of Murter couldn’t be found.
