Hello, I'm AntiDionysius. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Okra, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. AntiDionysius ( talk ) 22:27, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

The origin of okra is uncertain. (See the talk page.) A West African origin has been proposed, on the grounds of greater diversity in that region. However that diversity includes the allopolyploid A. caillei (esculentus x manihot), and is not representative of the diversity of okra itself in the region.

I think that okra originated in India, based on the distribution of its wild relatives, but there isn't a consensus on where it originated. Lavateraguy (talk) 22:50, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
