The difference between okra and mallow

The difference between okra and mallow

1. Differences in plants

The height of winter mallow is about 1 meter, with fine and soft hairs distributed on the upper and lower parts of the stem, and no outward branches.

The stem of okra stands upright and is lignified, about 1 to 2.5 meters long, branching outward. The roots are very developed, extend widely, and have strong water absorption.

2. The difference of leaves

The leaves of winter mallow are generally round in shape, about 5 to 8 cm, with fine serrations on the edges. There are no small hairs on both sides of the leaves, or there are sparse small hairs lying on the leaves. The petiole is not thick, about 4 to 7 cm long.

Okra leaves are alternate, with relatively coarse hairs on the upper and lower sides of the leaves, relatively long petioles, and small white transparent particles on the back of the leaves.

3. The difference of flowers

The flower shape of winter mallow is relatively small, about 6 mm in diameter, the flower color is white, and there are almost no pedicels or a few very short pedicels.

Okra has a large flower shape, about 4 to 8 cm in diameter. The petals are white or yellow, with bright colors, and are very ornamental.
