Please I want to know English and scientific name of this plant, from Northern Nigeria, found in woodland, its Mohammed edible,I have never seen it fruits or flower.it taste like likenTeilfera. It produces milky water which is itchy. I only know the name in my native Hausa language. Its called kafi likita here. Kafi likita literary means better than Doctor. Its so named because it regerate blood in anemic patient quickly.
Answer
Dear rabiunaku, good afternoon. I'm sorry I cannot help you. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of northeastern North America. I have looked online for such a plant as you have named, but I do not find one noted. I would suggest contacting a botanical museum in your country--there may be botanists who could assist you. Best wishes.
