kokama

I have heard that the Matabili have no name for this animal; but the Bechuana term is "Kokama."

Kokama or amsul is the pulp of the fruit cleared of the seeds and dried in the sun and slightly salted. It is of a black colour and an oval shape. The epidermis is wrinkled. At the base of kokama the calyx and the remainder of the stalk are often seen.

Contrast of first and most recent regenerations of USDA Hopi kokoma and blue maize varieties conserved ex situ.

Kokoma or guinea grass (Rottboelia exaltata) is a heavy cropping plant which makes good silage.
