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