Comments: Two subspecies have sometimes been recognized, with two varieties of the typical subspecies. However, Kartesz (1999 Floristic Synthesis) does not recognized infraspecific taxa in this species.
Oil from the seed is economically valuable. Borssum Waalkes recognized three SubSpe within Abelmoschus moschatus, one of which, subsp. tuberosus, is here included within A. sagittifolius. The Chinese material belongs to subsp. moschatus while the third SubSpe, subsp. biakensis, is restricted to New Guinea.
