About This Book

An alphabetically arranged lexical compendium of Hausa plant names that pairs vernacular terms with botanical identifications, Latin nomenclature, and family placement. Entries provide concise descriptions, regional name variants, noted uses for food, medicine, dye, fiber and ritual, parts utilized, and preparation or processing notes, with occasional cross-references and synonyms. The work functions as a practical reference linking Hausa ethnobotanical knowledge to scientific taxonomy and regional vocabulary.
