توضیحات
Abelmoschus moschatus (Abelmosk, musk mallow) is an aromatic and medicinal plant in the family Malvaceae native to Asia and Australia
The seeds have a sweet, flowery, heavy fragrance similar to that of musk (hence its specific epithet moschātus, scientific Latin for ‘musk’)
Despite its tropical origin, the plant is frost-hardy
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
It has many culinary uses. The seeds are added to coffee; unripe pods (“musk okra”), leaves and new shoots are eaten as vegetables.
Different parts of the plant have uses in Ayurveda herbal medicine, including as an antispasmodic and to treat gonorrhea. However, use may result in phytophotodermatitis and it has not been proven safe for use during pregnancy and lactation
In industry the root mucilage provides sizing for paper; tobacco is sometimes flavoured with the flowers
