Crassocephalum Crepidioides

Crassocephalum crepidioides (ebolo in Yoruba Language) belongs in the family Asteraceae. The stem is erect, round and hairy. Leaves are alternate, deeply-lobed and oval-shaped with toothed margins. The inflorescence is a capitulum consisting of orange disc florets. This plant is characterised by a cluster of heads at the apex of the stem. The seed is an achene with hairs (pappus) on top. It is a special pot vegetable among the Yorubas distinguished by its fragrance about which the Yoruba weighty wisecrack “No treatment can remove the fragrance of ebolo which is from its source, the wild” was coined!
