[edit] Merge to Roselle

I oppose this. Gongura has special significance in Andhra Cuisine. It is not just about the plant. The significance is about the pickle that is made with this plant. So this article should not be merged with Roselle. Sumanthk 09:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

There is no evidence that Gongura is Roselle. Just look at the pictures of the two plants...they don't look at all similar. In addition, the uses of the two plants are also different. Unless someone shows otherwise, Gongura should be treated as its own plant species.

I oppose the merger. Gongura is a very spcial culinary preparation made of a Hibiscus species whih is slightly different botanically from Kenaf or Roselle plant. The prepration is specific to Telugu speaking people's cuisine. Kumarrao 09:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
