Description

This is a shrubby herbaceous plant that, when mature, reaches a height of 2 to 4 meters depending on its growing conditions. Its deciduous foliage consists of lanceolate green leaves. Its flowers are relatively large, reaching up to 8 cm in diameter. Guinea sorrel leaves are used in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa), the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), and Gabon as a vegetable, either mashed or in a sauce.
