Abstract
The genus Hibiscus (Malvaceae) consists of about 200 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical zones, many of which are cultivated as ornamentals. Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) is an annual shrub 1.5–2.5 m in height (Fig. 1). The calyces contain red pigments and are used for making jelly, jams, beverages, and food colorants in a number of tropical countries (Clydesdale et al. 1979). Roselle has also been used as a source of plant fiber called roselle hemp (Corner and Watanabe 1969).
