Hibiscus botanical
-
The Hibiscus sabdarifia or Sida Sabdariffa is a Malvaceae, native to Central America, but later transferred to Java, Ceylon and tropical Africa. It is an annual to perennial plant, which can reach a height of 5 meters. Only the variety with red stems is mainly grown for the flowers. On the stem there are large, single leaves, bright green in color and with felt-like hair on the top. The flowers arise in the axils of the leaves and consist of 5 petals, three times larger than the sepals, which form a ring of small leaves. When the fruit has ripened, the petals and sepals have turned dark red and form the usual drying for tea.
