Yes. Without a clear picture of the flowers, it is impossible to
tell what family it belongs to. But I should be pretty flabberghasted
it it were an Abelmoschus, even from that picture - it really doesn't
look like one of the Malvaceae.

You are right to be flabberghasted, I was mixing things up in my head. The
correct name is on the tip of my tounge, I'll get back to you if and when it
pops out!


Amaranthus? Atriplex?
