FIL: Isang partikular na uri o espesye ng halamang tayum (Indigofera suffruticosa), na katulad ng tayuman at pinagkukunan din ng pangkulay.
EN: a species of indigo plant
The cousin of 'tayuman'. It's like the difference between iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro – very similar, both used for the same thing (making blue dye), but technically a different species. This is for the plantitos and plantitas who are *really* into historical Philippine flora.
From 'tayum', the name of the plant.
Less common than 'tayuman'. Often used interchangeably in non-scientific contexts.
