Garden plant in the mallow family (4)

I believe the answer is:

okra

(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Ladies' fingers with edible pods" , "old ladies' fingers" , "Edible seed pods" , "Pod eaten in soups, stews etc" , "Lady's fingers; gumbo; bhindi" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
