Yoruba plant name
Awede
Awede is a Yoruba plant name that published sources map to more than one species: Heterotis rotundifolia, Spermacoce ruelliae and Spermacoce verticillata. Sanko does not resolve it to a single taxon.
Sources disagree
Two or more published surveys record Awede against different species. Both readings are shown below with their sources. Sanko keeps the name unresolved rather than choosing between them.
