dwarf okra: in search of smallest variety

[swamper]

Can anybody give me information and or a source for a dwarf variety of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) that is smaller than typical dwarf okra? I'm interested in crossing it with a red/orange okra to get a dwarf red/orange okra.

If the dwarf is colorful and tasty to eat, that is a plus. I'm not opposed to hybrids, but a stable OP is preferred.
some that my searches have come across:

Pink - actually a different species (Abelmoschus moschatus)
Lee
Zarah

The smaller the plant the better.

There was a dwarf red hybrid called Little Lucy, which doesn't seem to be in circulation anymore. That or a dehybridized version would be a start.

I'm wondering if the interspecies cross with Pink would work and make fertile seed?

I believe I once grew a super dwarf variety from a lady on SSE that had pink flowers. But the okra pods weren't even edible, they were so small. And the plants never broke 8" or so in height. The name started with an N. I will try to locate the name in my records, but it was like ten years ago, so no promises.

Well A. esculentum has been hybrized with another family member (A. Manihot) to make a fertile hybrid, (A. calleli or A. glutino-textile) so it might be possible. Though given A. moschatusis famous for the rather musky aroma of it's seeds, I imagine that the resultant pods of such a cross might smell (and therefore taste) a bit odd to one used to pure okra.
