Hibiscus schizopetalus (Dyer) Hook.f., Bot. Mag. 106: t. 6524 1880. (Syn: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis var. schizopetalus Dyer);
Hye-bisk-us — rose-mallow commonly known as: Chinese lantern, coral hibiscus, East-African hibiscus, fringed hibiscus, fringed rose-mallow, Japanese hibiscus, Japanese lantern, skeleton hibiscus, Juba kusum (Manipuri); Native to: tropical east Africa; widely cultivated
Place ; Dombivli
Date : 03.04.11 This is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cv. El Capitolio Sport….(International Hibiscus society ) I thought this should be Hibiscus schizopetalous ‘Pagoda’ Thanks for citing a combination made in 1879 and followed by Sivarajan in 1996. Perhaps it may interest you to know that KEW Plant List has been published in 2010, and it lists H. schizopetalous as an accepted name and Both H. rosa-sinensis and H. schizopetalous have lot of colour forms, the latter being characterised by laciniate petals clearly seen in above plant.
According to me the above plant is a cultivar known as H. schizopetalous ‘Pagoda’ http://www.flickr.com/photos/tuis_imaging/466992977/ I think the flower in the link sent by .. is similar to the flower photo sent by me.
Flora of Panipat: Hibiscus schizopetalus from Arya PG College Campus Panipat Haryana: Hibiscus schizopetalus Sir 3-4 days back i have planted this in My college and as per the request of my colleagues, i am trying to prepare 20-25 plants of this by air layering. I got this plant in a nursery in panipat unattended in a corner and i purchase this. If succeed i will give u one plant Very common garden plant in Chennai. A very useful natural shampoo as well. All parts of this plant can be used as shampoo. What to do is that make a paste out of the plant parts (preferably leaf, flower and bark). Apply it 30 before bath. Timing is according to the health of the person. For instance, if a person is suffering from cough and “vata” related ailments, he/she is not suppose to apply it for long time.
Here is my picture of a flower… from garden of a Jain temple in Jiagunj, taken in April 2011… no body plucks flowers for personal use… hence these flowers can be seen on the plants… In my neighborhood in Calcutta men and women of all financial and educational class go for morning walks and without any hesitation pluck and and all flowers along the way … even when I reuested them that I was trying to see if a seedpod would develop in one of my building’s bahunia… and I even put a bag over it…. they are shameless thieves…. some I have been told are IAS officers!!! flower thieves….
Anyway on the good note: here’s my flower … the shrub was baout 8 – 9 feet tall….
“Apply it 30 before bath” Please read this line of my previous mail as follows. Apply it 30 minutes before bath.
Nice picture! Planting this species is worth not only for shampoo but the dancing flowers in the breeze is a good treat to eyes also.

Malvaceae Week: Hibiscus schizopetalus from arya PG College Panipat: Hibiscus schizopetalus Called as ‘Katar Jaswand’ in Marathi my understanding was that these flowers all droop down, that’s how they grow at least in Bengal… Lovely var. of hibiscus. Long time back this shrub was exsiting in Delhi Gymkhana Club also. … thanks for the apt name of katar jaswand. Literal meaning of *katar* is scissors … in this context “scissored” used as an adjective, leading to scissored hibiscus.
