Yoruba and Hausa plant name
Ayin
Ayin is a Yoruba and Hausa plant name that published sources map to more than one species: Delonix regia and Terminalia leiocarpa. Sanko does not resolve it to a single taxon.
Sources disagree
Two or more published surveys record Ayin against different species. Both readings are shown below with their sources. Sanko keeps the name unresolved rather than choosing between them.
