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