filorio
A derogatory label used during the 1844 Dominican independence movement against the followers of Juan Pablo Duarte and the secret society known as the Trinitarios. The name originates from the filoria (Malabar jasmine), a white flower worn in the hair by young women who supported the cause (Juan Pablo Duarte is the main founding father of the Dominican Republic).
