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