Roselle (plant)
Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Hibiscus that is native to Africa, most likely West Africa. In the 16th and early 17th centuries it was spread to Asia and the West Indies, where it has since become naturalized in many places. The stems are used for the production of bast fibre and the dried cranberry-tasting calyces are commonly steeped to make a popular infusion known by many names, including carcade.
Roselle is an annual or perennial herb or woody-based subshrub, growing to 2–2.5 m (7–8 ft) tall. The leaves are deeply three- to five-lobed, 8–15 cm (3–6 in) long, arranged alternately on the stems.
The flowers are 8–10 cm (3–4 in) in diameter, white to pale yellow with a dark red spot at the base of each petal, and have a stout, conspicuous calyx at the base, 1–2 cm (0.39–0.79 in) wide, enlarging to 3–3.5 cm (1.2–1.4 in) and becoming fleshy and a deep crimson red as the fruit matures, which takes about six months.
Roselle is known as karkadeh (كركديه) in Arabic, chin baung (ချဉ်ပေါင်) in Burmese, luòshénhuā (洛神花) in Chinese, Thai: กระเจี๊ยบ (RTGS: krachiap) in Thai, ສົ້ມພໍດີ /sőm phɔː diː/ in Lao, ស្លឹកជូរ /slɜk cuː/ សណ្តាន់ទេស /sɑndan tẹːh/, ម្ជូរបារាំង /məcuː baraŋ/, or ម្ជូរព្រឹក /məcuː prɨk/ in Khmer, cây quế mầu, cây bụp giấm, or cây bụt giấm in Vietnamese, and rosela, asam kumbang, asam susur, or asam paya in Indonesian.
Roselle is known as chukur/chukai (চুকুর/চুকাই), and amlamadhur (অম্লমধুর) in Bengali. It is called ya pung by the Marma people of Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts.
In north eastern India and environs, it is called tengamora (টেঙামৰা) by various indigenous ethnic groups of Assam. In addition, it is known as hoilfa (হইলফা) in Sylheti, dachang or datchang by Atongs, mwita among the Bodo, Rongya Mwkhui among the Tipra Sa Mostly in Tripura Bangladesh amile among Chakmas mostly in Chittagong, gal•da among Garos, Khandrong among Tiwa, hanserong among Karbi (an indigenous group of Asaam), hantserup among Lotha of Nagaland.

Anthur sen (roselle red) in Hakha Chin, lakher anthur in Mizo and hmiakhu saipa (roselle red) or matu hmiakhu in the Mara language are names used in Mizoram, India and Chin State, Myanmar.
