Plant name resolver

Sanko maps 793 local plant names from Nigerian ethnobotanical surveys to 390 accepted botanical names, each verified against the GBIF taxonomy backbone and traceable to a named published source.

• 793 local names
• 390 botanical names
• 34 contested names
• 6 published sources

Each entry names its source down to the table and row it was read from. Where published surveys disagree about which species a local name refers to, Sanko shows the disagreement rather than picking a winner. See the sources →

All names

Nothing here matches that. These 793 names come from 6 published Nigerian surveys, so this is a record of what those surveys wrote down — not a complete flora. A name missing from it has not been ruled out; it has not been read yet. See which sources are in →
