Plant of the mallow family (4)

I believe the answer is:

okra

(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Tropical plant with edible pods" , "Lady's fingers; gumbo; bhindi" , "vegetable soup ingredient" , "Bhindi, gumbo or ladies' fingers" , "Ladies' fingers with edible pods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
