ijn and ikw plant name
Kasiu
Kasiu is a ijn and ikw plant name that published sources map to more than one species: Anacardium occidentale and Pistacia vera. Sanko does not resolve it to a single taxon.
Sources disagree
Two or more published surveys record Kasiu against different species. Both readings are shown below with their sources. Sanko keeps the name unresolved rather than choosing between them.
