It occurs in humid area of West and Central Africa,[2] where it is used as a vegetable.[3] It originated as an allopolyploid hybrid of Abelmoschus esculentus and A. manihot, and is often mistaken for either of those two plants.[1] The same hybrid was produced experimentally in Japan where it is known as Abelmoschus glutino-textile. DescriptionAbelmoschus caillei occurs as an erect and stout herb that is often woody at the base. Its flowers are axillary, with their petals yellow to pink.[1]UsesIt is consumed as a vegetable in a few ways, with young leaves consumed as spinach, young fruits consumed after being cooked or fried. Its edibility combined with its resistance to yellow vein mosaic virus allows the plant to be commonly cultivated in subsistence farming in high rainfall areas of West Africa.[4] Its leaves also make good cattle feed.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |title= CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology |author= Umberto Quattrocchi |edition= reprint |publisher= CRC Press |year= 2016 |isbn= 9781482250640 |page= 1}} 2. ^{{cite book |title= Vegetables |volume= 2 |series= Plant resources of tropical Africa |editor= G.
