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