Species of flowering plant

Roselle

Roselle is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, likely native to parts of Africa.

In the 16th and early 17th centuries it was spread to Asia and the West Indies, where it has since become naturalized in many places. The stems are used for the production of bast fibre and the calyces are commonly steeped to make an infusion popular in many places around the world.
