Abelmoschus caillei, the West African okra, is a plant species in the family Malvaceae. It occurs in West and Central Africa, where it is used as a vegetable. It originated as an allopolyploid hybrid of Abelmoschus esculentus and A. manihot. The same hybrid was produced experimentally in Japan where it is known as Abelmoschus glutino-textile.
