Native rosella
Hibiscus heterophyllus
Also known as native sorrel the native rosella is found along the east coast of Australia in forests and rainforests.
The large white or pink flowers are edible and so are the small soft new leaves. The red calyxes (buds) are high in vitamin C and can be cooked and made into jam. The seeds can also be roasted and ground into flour.
Aboriginal people also used strips taken from the stem to make very strong string. The string was then woven into fishing nets or dilly bags.
