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