Igbo plant name
Nch-anwu
Nch-anwu is a Igbo plant name that published sources map to more than one species: Cymbopogon citratus and Thymus vulgaris. Sanko does not resolve it to a single taxon.
Sources disagree
Two or more published surveys record Nch-anwu against different species. Both readings are shown below with their sources. Sanko keeps the name unresolved rather than choosing between them.
