  • Question

    This plant grows in the Northern parts of Cameroon which has a tropical climate and a Savanna type vegetation. Used for nail beautification and alleged to have anti-fungal property against Onychomycosis. Please help me classify it.

    Answer

    Dear solowise11, I'm sorry, in this case I cannot assist you. However, there are botanical institutions in Cameroon that you could send these pictures to--and they may be able to help you with an identification of this plant. The National Herbarium of Cameroon is one place you might try. The correspondent there is Gaston Achoundong, who can be reached at gachoundong@yahoo.fr. Best wishes.
