Okra
Okra or Okro ( or ; ''Abelmoschus esculentus Moench''), known in many English-speaking countries as ladies' fingers, bhendi, bhindi, bamia, ochro or gumbo, is a flowering plant in the mallow family. It is valued for its edible green seed pods. The geographical origin of okra is disputed, with supporters of West African, Ethiopian, and South Asian origins. The plant is cultivated in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions around the world.
== Vernacular names in English-speaking nations ==
The name ''okra'' is most often used in the UK, United States and the Philippines, with a variant pronunciation in Caribbean English and Nigeria of ''okro''. The word ''okra'' is from the Igbo '. The plant and its seed pods are also known as "lady's fingers".〔("Alternative Cold Remedies: Lady's Fingers Plant" ), curing-colds.com (accessed 3 June 2009)〕 In various Bantu languages, okra is called ''(ki)ngombo'' or a variant, and this is possibly the origin of the name "gumbo", used in parts of the United States and the English-speaking Caribbean.〔 In much of South Asia, it is called by some variant of ''bhindi'', a name also heard in the United Kingdom, but people in Bengal call it ''dherosh''.
