Gossypium herbaceum, commonly
known as Levant cotton, is a species of cotton native to the semi-arid regions
of sub-Saharan Africa and Arabia where it still grows in the wild as a
perennial shrub. It is a sister species of Gossypium arboretum. Gossypium
herbaceum or cotton is usually used as a textile, while making clothing and can
