Hibiscus surattensis, the bush sorrel or wild sour, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae.[2] It is native to the seasonally dry tropical (and subtropical) Old World, and has been introduced to many islands of the Indian Ocean.[1] As the common names imply, it is eaten as a leafy green by local peoples.[2]
