“Hibiscus” is the old Greek name that Vergil gave to the mallow. This reminds us that the hibiscus and mallows have been greatly admired by nature lovers since quite ancient times. The hibiscus is part of a very large genus. Includes nearly 200 species of herbs, shrubs and small trees of the mallow family. The musk mallow (H. abelmoschus) of India gives us perfume from it’s seeds. Okra (H. esculentus) provides a tasty pod used in the USA for gumbo soups and southern cooking dishes. |
