Correspondences in both directions are shown: fi rst in each category are Solega polytypic ethnotaxa
and corresponding scientifi c names, followed by polytypic Linnaean genera and corresponding
Solega names. All scientifi c names shown in the table are listed as ‘Accepted’ in http://www.theplantlist.
org. Alternative IDs are scientifi c names that are listed as ‘Synonyms’ (and therefore, not the pre-
ferred names) in http://www.theplantlist.org , and are only shown in the table if they have a bearing on the
match between the Solega and scientifi c names. (U) indicates an unresolved scientifi c name. The
‘ life form ’ terms mara ‘tree’, giḍa ‘plant’ and ambu ‘vine’ have been omitted for clarity
