I checked all post in efi site at Hibiscus hispidissimus Griff. and Hibiscus surattensis L. – these seems to be OK. Determination based on stem prickles may be confusing. So better to go with the stipules. As per efi thread : Hibiscus furcatus Wall. is the synonym of H. surattensis L., a name used in FBI and still holding true (fork has one spoon shaped appendage and one small erect linear branch; stipules large leafy ear-shaped; leaves 3-5-fid)
Hibiscus furcatus Roxb. described in FBI and now correctly known as H. hispidissimus Griff. (both forks linear; stipules lanceolate-oblong; leaves entire or 3-lobed)
Hibiscus furcatus Willd., a synonym of Hibiscus rostellatus Guill. & Perr. an African plant not found in India Other expected species in India, cultivated or naturalised from this group (forked epicalyx segments) include. Hibiscus radiatus Willd. epicalyx 8-10, with linear fork segments, stipules linear; leaves deeply 3-5 lobed. Hibiscus acetosella: epicalyx 9-10, apically forked, leaves irregularly 3-5 lobed. Hibiscus cannabinus looks similar to above two species but is distinct in deeply 3-7-parted leaves and importantly with epicalyx segments not being forked. .

Hibiscus ¿ hispidissimus ? … (family: Malvaceae)
Dear friends, please validate the ID;
Habit: sub-shrub, standing about a metre high
Habitat: found growing in wild scrub, in town I am confused whether or not H. hispidissimus. yes it looks like Hibiscus hispidissimus. H. radiatus. Pls note 8-10 forked inv bracts. H. hispidissimus is armed climber.
… on going through references for H. radiatus, the flower is consistently shown in dark pink colour. Please help. Any chance of H. surattensis ? Involucral bracts forked or with leafy appendages is the key character for H. radiatus and this can be clearly seen in your pictures. Pls refrain from photo tallying from internet. The dark pink flower should be H. sabdariffa
Many thanks … for clarifications. This is Hibiscus hispidissimus Griff. as per keys and details herein. The ID of this observation is corrected to Hibiscus furcatus Willd. … not the later homonym Hibiscus furcatus Roxb., synonym of Hibiscus hispidissimus Griff. But POWO shows Hibiscus furcatus Willd. as an unplaced name. I think it may have implications on all the posts at
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/03/05/hibiscus-hispidissimus/ Yes, correct, … Hibiscus furcatus Willd. seems to have been overlooked and neglected.
iNaturalist which closely follows POWO, also had not placed H. furcatus Willd. in their database … However, very recently, the name has been included.
Russell Barrett has managed to get the taxon included, it can be seen in my observation in iNaturalist … a little bit of reasoning / justification is added in my observation about the distinctness of the species. I will update in this post, when Russell’s phylogeny paper – related to H. furcatus Willd. gets released.
All posts incorporated in https://efloraofindia.com/2011/03/05/hibiscus-hispidissimus/ will not get affected … Only those that are erect sub-shrubs are going to be Hibiscus furcatus Willd.The vigorous ramblers stay on page as they are.
