The roselle or asam belanda (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a species of hibiscus, and in Malaysia it is often referred to as "Ribena plant" as roselle juice tastes similar to Ribena. It can grow up to 2–2.5 m tall with wide leaves that are deeply three to five-lobed. The leaves and young shoots can be used in cooking, often added to curry to impart a mild sour taste.
