Definition
A genus of tropical West African flowering plants known for their medicinal properties and traditional uses in herbal medicine.
Etymology
A New Latin scientific name (genus name) derived from African languages, possibly from a West African word; the 'funtum-' part may relate to indigenous plant terminology in the region where these plants are native.
Kelly Says
Plant genus names are often 'borrowed' from indigenous languages by European botanists—Funtumia is one of the honest ones that clearly retains its African root, unlike many Latinized plant names that disguised their origins, giving us a direct link to African botanical knowledge.
