Abelmoschus Moschatus
''Abelmoschus moschatus'' (Abelmosk, ambrette, annual hibiscus, Bamia Moschata, Galu Gasturi, muskdana, musk mallow, musk okra, ornamental okra, rose mallow, tropical jewel hibiscus, Yorka okra) is an aromatic and medicinal plant in the family Malvaceae native to Asia and Australia. Characteristics The seeds have a sweet, flowery, heavy fragrance similar to that of musk (hence its specific epithet , scientific Latin for ‘musk’). Despite its tropical origin, the plant is frost- hardy. Uses of the plant Musk mallow seed oil was once frequently used as a substitute in perfumes for animal musk; however this use is now mostly replaced by various synthetic musks due to its high cost. In her 1705 book the ''Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium'', Maria Sibylla Merian described how the young indigenous women would string the seeds on threads and wear the seeds as decoration on their arms. She also indicated that the Indigenous people used the seeds to fatten up their chickens. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lavatera
''Malva'' is a genus of herbaceous annual, biennial, and perennial plants in the family Malvaceae. It is one of several closely related genera in the family to bear the common English name mallow.

The colour mauve was in 1859 named after the French name for this plant. Uses Ornamental plant Several species are widely grown as garden flowers. Very easily grown, short-lived perennials are often grown as ornamental plants. Food Many species are edible as leaf vegetables and commonly foraged in the West ...
