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