ekp and ikw plant name
Odukwu
Odukwu is a ekp and ikw plant name that published sources map to more than one species: Ocimum gratissimum and Valeriana officinalis. Sanko does not resolve it to a single taxon.
Sources disagree
Two or more published surveys record Odukwu against different species. Both readings are shown below with their sources. Sanko keeps the name unresolved rather than choosing between them.
