}Use this when someone asks what is recorded about one named plant of West or Central Africa: its names, family, warnings, the uses a collector or a desk note recorded, and how many notes are held back. Give the warnings first and say where each row comes from. Do not use it to recommend a remedy, and do not add an amount, how often, how long or a way to prepare one: the herbarium holds such notes back, and a use on record is not evidence that it works or that it is safe.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| plant* | string | The plant's scientific name, a common name the herbarium lists for it, or the slug herbarium.find returned. |

}Use this when someone names a plant of West or Central Africa by its scientific name or a common name (for example "Azadirachta indica", "sobolo" or "prekese") and you need to know whether the Kweku Anansi herbarium has a card for it. It returns the matching cards with family and rank, and says plainly when a plant is not in the herbarium yet. Do not use it to identify a plant from a description or a photograph, or for a plant from outside Africa: it matches names as written, and a plant that is not found may be there under another name.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name* | string | The plant's scientific name ("Vernonia amygdalina") or a common name ("bitter leaf"). |
