Abstract

Aims: This paper is a review of the applications, production and uses of Roselle plants, and points out that Roselle is a promising crop for medicinal uses, which is an aspect that has not been widely studied to date. Study Design and Methodology: A review of the literature from the pioneering study of 1929 until 2012. Place and Duration of Study: School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Penang, Malaysia, between June 2008 and July 2010. Results: Our review of the studies mentioned in the literature was performed on the effects on Cultivation, Diseases and Usages of (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) Roselle.
