Description
Abelmoschus longifolius (Willd.) Wall.
Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench (1794: 617). Hibiscus esculentus Linnaeus (1753: 696). Lectotype (designated by van Borssum Waalkes 1966): Herb. Linn. 875.31 (LINN).
Hibiscus longifolius Willdenow (1800: 827). Abelmoschus longifolius (Willd.) Wall. in O’Shaughnessy (1841: 215). Holotype: INDIA. Klein s.n. (B, fide van Borssum Waalkes (1966)).
Willdenow (1800) described Hibiscus longifolius from Indian material. This species has generally been considered a synonym of the okra or lady’s fingers plant, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench. In The Bengal Dispensatory the combination Abelmoschus longifolius appears, attributed to Wallich. This is a much earlier publication of the name than given in IPNI.
