Plant name: Gossypium barbadense L., Sp. Pl. 2: 693. 1753.
Family: Malvaceae
ver.name: errapatti, ఎర్ర పత్తి paidipatti పైడి పత్తి , pamidipatti, పమిడి పత్తి
shrubs, perennial, 2-3 m tall,;leaf blade, with black glandular spots; leaf blade 3-5-lobed, 7-12 cm in diam., ;Flowers terminal or axillary. Pedicel usually shorter than petiole, ; Epicalyx lobes 5 or more, free, broadly ovate, 3.5-5 cm, base rounded-cordate, 10-15-toothed, teeth 3-4 × as long as wide.

How is it different from Gossypium hirsutum L.
From where your posted plant was collected ?
Hirsutum– Seeds free, ovoid, with white wool and gray-white moderately persistent short fuzz. barbedens–Seeds black and smooth when hair fallen, free or aggregated, ovoid, ca. 8 mm, beaked, with white wool and easily detached short fuzz on one or both tips; staminal column longer than corolla nearly 4 cm long;
it was cultivated in our house long back; the flower image is missing.
May I request you to pl. also go through the following and confirm:
May I seek your comments based on Monograph pl. as I am still confused between the two as keys are not very clear to me.
It says Gossypium barbadense is seldom cultivated for commercial cotton, but is often grown in the gardens.
