List of Bohol, Philippines Flora and Fauna

While there is no list for Cebu, the species of plants/trees/flowers are about the same, so I am listing here what I find in the Wikipedia. Hopefully, I can use this as reference guide as I am trying to plant edibles in my own backyard, just like my childhood plants in Badian Cebu as a kid.
I added few that needed botanical names and personal pictures that I have taken in Badian and in my new home in ottawa, ontario, canada.

This article is from Wikipedia:
