    Additional Notes

    Although Waris is sometimes translated as “desert flower,” etymologically this is not accurate, and there is no substantial evidence to support that interpretation. I am not well-versed in Somali plant names, and there is currently insufficient data to verify such a meaning. If anyone has reliable information on this, please share it, and we will update the entry.
