FIL: Isang uri ng palumpong (Gardenia jasminoides) na may mabango at puting bulaklak, karaniwang ginagamit sa mga kwintas na bulaklak o bilang palamuti.
EN: gardenia
That fragrant white flower that smells like heaven and is often sold outside churches alongside sampaguita. It's the flower of graduations and religious processions. It's more sophisticated than sampaguita, like the 'tita' flower to sampaguita's 'dalaga' vibe.
From Spanish 'rosal' which means 'rosebush'. However, in the Philippines, the term was applied to the Gardenia flower, likely due to its fragrance and appearance.
While 'rosal' in Spanish means rosebush, in the Philippines it exclusively refers to the gardenia flower (Gardenia jasminoides).
