Go buy hibiscus tea and see for yourself. Zobo is simply dried hibiscus flower

AwkaetitiBabe they might have the same colouration but I am telling you what I know.
I don't know the name of this leaf be it English or Yoruba but the one for Zobo is called ìsápá in Yoruba (for clear pronunciation, ìshákpá).
check the previous comments you quoted I mentioned it's use.

OP shocked, omg, what have you done to yourself? That's called the leaf of Babel. Legend has it that anywhere the leaf is planted, the leprechauns of Olympus and the gnomes of Scandinavia would come and pluck the leaves. Here's the most interesting part: for every time they pluck, the height of whoever planted it will reduce by 1mm. Check yourself, are you shorter than before? cheesy
Lol. Funny

this not about argument we all are out to learn. that plant use be in my compound the leaves were harvested by nursing mothers till it went into extinction from my compound except we decide to search for and plant again.

Our major problem started when we abandoned our herbs and root and embrace their own way.

This is called acalypha,it is used for babies that have skin discoloration popularly known as Èla in Yoruba .
They are given minute quantity to drink and mix small quantity with their bathing water.
It is of two types; Acalypha green ( more efficient from experience) and Acalypha Red
