Earlier relevant feedback: “I think this plant is Abelmoschus moschatus Medik. , Malvenfam. 46. 1787 from the family Malvaceae. The leaves in these plants are dented along the margin and not palmately lobes like "Bhendi", this character can be seen from a single potion of a young leaf visible. Arati Ji kindly try to take the photo of the leaves , this helps a lot during identification. Regards Tanay” ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Aarti S.
