Identificaciones de jmounger

I observed the seedless plant along the lettuce lake park trail. There were plenty of these scattered around the trail and I found and heard many animals and/or insects running around in them. They were grown really big about to my height which is 5ft 8in.

SIZE: Approximately 1 foot tall, 6 inches wide.

COLOR: Dark-purple/burgundy.

LEAVES: Appearance of net-like vascular tissue, presenting with 3 main lines coming from the middle, with smaller veins branching out towards the outer edges of the leaf. The outer edge of the leaves consisted of many little rounded semicircles going all around each leaf.

HABITAT: Forest-type, consisting of grass, ferns, and a large number of trees. There were no visible insects around it, however, I was able to identify an audible “chirping” noise coming from the plant’s surroundings (possibly a Cricket).

I believe this could be a Roselle plant (Hibiscus Sabdariffa). Plantae kingdom, Malvaceae family.
