1. Abelmoschus moschatus Medik. (Malvaceae), Musk mallow, Ambrette (Wangyal 2020)
2. Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medik. (Malvaceae), Hibiscus manihot, Aibika (Wangchuk 2011 Bhutan)
3. Abutilon theophrasti Medik. (Malvaceae), Velvet leaf, Chinese jute, Indian mallow (Drungtso 1999; Molvray 1988 G,R)

The leaf form in the thangka image 26_058 is close to Abelmoschus manihot. so ma ra dza may be confounded with hemp (sro ma nag po). As woody species, the Shel gong treats so ma ra dza in the tree section, whereas sro ma nag po (hemp) is found in the herbaceous section.
