Yoruba plant name
Ewon-agogo
Ewon-agogo is a Yoruba plant name that published sources map to more than one species: Lantana camara and Mimosa pigra. Sanko does not resolve it to a single taxon.
Sources disagree
Two or more published surveys record Ewon-agogo against different species. Both readings are shown below with their sources. Sanko keeps the name unresolved rather than choosing between them.
