Dear friends,

While compiling names of *Ipomoea mauritiana* Jacq. and *Ziziphus mauritiana
* Lam.
- want to make sure that *mauritiana *is of or from: Mauritania (country in
w Africa) AND not to be confused with Mauritius (island in Indian Ocean)

*Ipomoea mauritiana *has:
1) one name - Mauritanian convolvulus ... NPGS /
GRIN<http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?311648>
2) its origins ... uncertain, but it has been recorded in West Africa,
including in Gambia and the riparian forests of Benin ...
Wikipedia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_mauritiana>
Both Gambia and Benin are neighbouring countries of Mauritania.


BUT when looking up for *Ziziphus mauritiana*, do not find it pertaining in
any way to Mauritania (nor Mauritius).
Can someone help me ?


Regards.
Dinesh
