}}Abelmoschus moschatus (Abelmosk, ambrette, annual hibiscus, Bamia Moschata, Galu Gasturi, muskdana, musk mallow,[2] musk okra,[2] ornamental okra, rose mallow, tropical jewel hibiscus,[2] Yorka okra) is an aromatic and medicinal plant in the family Malvaceae native to Asia and Australia.[2]

Characteristics

The seeds have a sweet, flowery, heavy fragrance similar to that of musk (hence its specific epithet {{lang|la|moschātus}}, 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.

Culinary uses

It has many culinary uses. The seeds are added to coffee; unripe pods ("musk okra"), leaves and new shoots are eaten as vegetables.

Medicinal uses

Different parts of the plant have uses in Ayurveda herbal medicine, including as an antispasmodic and to treat gonorrhea.[3] However, use may result in phytophotodermatitis{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} and it has not been proven safe for use during pregnancy and lactation.[4]

Other uses

In industry the root mucilage provides sizing for paper; tobacco is sometimes flavoured with the flowers.
