roselle (plural roselles)

1. Hibiscus sabdariffa, an edible flower in the hibiscus family used to make hibiscus tea, also known as agua de jamaica or sorrel.

   I planted some roselle in the garden so I can start making my own hibiscus tea instead of relying on processed agua de jaimaica powders.

     Roselle has also been used as a source of plant fiber called roselle hemp.
