Family: Malvaceae May be Hibiscus setinervis Dunn The name of this plant is Abelmoschus angulosus var. grandiflorus. I am confused how can one get a var in wild and how can we the diagnosis down to that level based on some picture??? I have revised this genus for India. I have studied all species of Abelmoschus very well. Therefore, I could identify the given specimen. For Abelmoschus the character of epicalyx and fruit is very important. .

May be some other genus ? Genus is Abelmoschus Plant may be- Abelmoschus manihot subsp. tetraphyllus (Roxb. ex Hornem.) Borss. Waalk. Thank you …, It is looking very close to the image of Abelmoschus angulosus (Flowers of India) It looks like Hibiscus calyphyllus Cav., provided epicalyx lobes 5, larger than calyx; they are not clearly visible, capsule hairy, spinous pointed. Hibiscus calyphyllus Cav. is not an Indian element, linear epicalyx present there in Hibiscus calyphyllus http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ac.in has given the description and also reported Abelmoschs angulosus from Shimoga area, Epicalyx is ovate 4-5 lobed. .
