Dear Delshad,
Abel. is a plant with a musk-like smell, whereas Mosch. is the secretion of the Musk Deer.
From, EH (Encyclopedia Homeopathica):
Abelmoschus
Source
Hibiscus Abelmoschus or Musk-mallow; is a plant belonging to the Malvaceae family.
It is a shrub growing from 1m to 1.25m in height, and is found in Egypt, the East Indies, and Mexico, where it is known under the name of musk-seed (in Spanish, Abelmosco = musk-grass).
The branches are downy with long leaf-stalks, the flowers are yellow and the fruits appear as capsules containing numerous kidney-bean shaped seeds, 3-4mm in length and 2mm wide, with many coffee-coloured striae, which are separated by greyish furrows.
They emit a pleasant odour like that of musk, and their taste is aromatic.
The dried seed forms the base for the preparation of the mother tincture.
The symptomatology is the work of Dr. De Legarreta, Mexico 1961.
Moschus
Moschus moschiferus, L.
Class, Mammalia;Order, Ungulata;Family, Bovidae;Tribe, Moschina.
Common name, Musk deer.
Preparations, Trituration of the inspissated secretion contained in the preputial follicles.
Authorities.(Nos. 1 to 35 from Hahnemann, with annotations by Dr. Hughes);
Sincerely,
Natasha
