Roselle

Hibiscus sabdariffa, commonly called Roselle, is a large, tropical, bushy perennial in the Mallow family. Sometimes it is called Jamaican Sorrel or French Sorrel because its edible leaves look and taste like Sorrel. Roselle can be found in humid tropical locations, like southeast Asia and the Caribbean, where the bright red plant stems are used for making a fiber similar to jute, and its fruits are harvested for beverages, sauces, jellies, and wine.
