Answer
Dear WalterLeke, Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of the northeastern United States. As such, there are many plant questions that are outside of our geographical range of expertise. I suggest you contact the folks at Herbier National du Bénin (a museum that would have expertise in the region you are interested in, the address is: Faculte des Sciences et Technique, Université National du Bénin, Campus Universitaire d'Abomey-Calavi, 01 B.P. 4521 Cotonou, Benin. And you can email the staff at: akoegnin@syfed.bj.refer.org. Good luck with your project.
