Dont know the binomial name… but your photos show what is known as ‘Shobuj tok dhedosh’ in bengali…
ie green sour bhindi…. once in a while one old woman even sells it in my supermarket..
Trying to discover its name I had found this, last year …
” from wikipedia: English: A wild white Roselle plant growing
on the bank of Irrawaddy River near Kamma, Magway Division, Myanmar.
Date 30 March 2008 Source Own work Author Mgba,

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_Wild_Roselle_Plant_Growing_O…”
his picture is exactly like yours…
and Mr garg’s pictures of leaves …couldn’t tell, but his gree n bhindi
fruits are uncannily like yours… DID YOU TASTE THEM? ARE THEY SOUR or SOURISH?

Thanks … I too think its Abelmoschus ficulneus! and … i have not tasted its fruit but I will than I will tell you.

It is also Found in Haryana, if not mistaken
Attaching some pics of mine
pls validate

Thanks …, for the nice pictures.
But your plant looks different, and it may be Fioria vitifolia (= Hibiscus vitifolius).

These images appear close to images at Abelmoschus manihot subsp. tetraphyllus (Roxb. ex Hornem.) Borss.Waalk.

Pls look at these also

This herb was recorded from near Panipat, wanted to get id..

I hope this is Abelmoschus sp., the size of fruit was much shorter than cultivated Okra, as well as you can notice the differences in flower..

Abelmoschus ficulneus (Linn.) Wight & Arnott ex Wight,

Epicalyx fallen before opening of flowers and red spot in centre are distinctive.
