Here's why:
* Botanical names are often different across languages: While scientific names are universal, common names vary greatly from culture to culture.
* Multiple names may exist: A single plant can have several names depending on the region, specific variety, and usage.
* Comfrey may not be commonly known in Yoruba: It's possible comfrey isn't a widely used plant in Yoruba culture, therefore, a specific name may not have evolved.
To find a potential name, you could try the following:
* Consult a Yoruba dictionary: Search for the botanical name (Symphytum officinale) or a description of the plant.
* Ask Yoruba-speaking herbalists: They may have a name for the plant, especially if it's used in traditional medicine.
* Research online resources: Explore websites or books dedicated to Yoruba culture, botany, or traditional medicine.
Good luck in your search!
