Abstract

This work covers folk names for plant species specific to Žirje and Kaprije, the only settlements on the homonymous islands in the Šibenik archipelago. Floral research conducted on Žirje recorded 585 unique species and subspecies of taller plants, with 91 of them being cultivated and sub-spontaneous species, and 503 species and subspecies in Kaprije, with 112 cultivated and sub-spontaneous among those. Dialectological phytonomic research conducted in Žirje showed that 123 of these had folk names, whereas 116 had folk names according to research from Kaprije. As with the rest of our coastal area, the names that were discovered for these plant species can be separated into the Slavic (bȍb, jȁsen, lobȍda, mlĩč, mûrva, rakȉta, skȍruša, smȍka, vȉšnja, žȉto) and Romanic (barakȍkula, blȉtva, čičvârda, đirãn, fafarînka, garôful, levãnda, mr ta, žȉžula) groups.
