Abstract

During our botanical research work on the island Murter 734 items of taxonomy were registered, 143 of which are cultivated species. Out of this number in the dialectological phytonomy researches conducted at Murter a fifth of the popular names was registered not including the names of the cultivated species identical to the names in the standard language.
The people named those species they used in their nourishment and in that of animals, medicinal herbs and the most frequent weeds.
Frequently they give the same name to all the plants within one genus (e.g. zlak, mlíčac) even the species from different genera (e.g. sikavac).
By changing the way of life, meaning also their lesser usage and knowledge of the plants, a lot of their names are disappearing.
In the names of the plants the chakavian acute is well preserved (loboda, mrkvanj, mogoruš, trnjič) and also oxytone in the closed syllable (cimpris, koromač, ščenac).
This paper does not deal with the formation and origin of the plant names which should be the object of special researches.
