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