Hibiscus species/ hybrids

Help building a key for genus Hibiscus:

Our website already has keys for Indian species of Solanum, Cassia, Senna and Chamaecrista. It is proposed to build a similar key for the genus. The first step towards this is preparing an updated list of Indian species (Both wild as well as cultivated, as several cultivated herbs often run as escape and trees and shrubs are often difficult to place as wild or planted, especially because of plantation drives in the recent years). I am sharing a preliminary list. Kindly suggest additions or corrections.

1. Abelmoschus crinitus Wall. (syn: Hibiscus cancellatus Roxb. (non L.); Hibiscus crinitus (Wall.) G. Don)

2. Abelmoschus esculentus (L. Moench. (syn: Hibiscus esculentus L.)

3. Abelmoschus ficulneus (L.) Wight & Arnott ex Wight (syn: Hibiscus ficulneus L.)

6. Abelmoschus moschatus Medic. (syn: Hibiscus abelmoschus L.) + var. multiformis , var. betulifolius

7. Abelmoschus pungens (Roxb.) Voight. (syn: Hibiscus pungens Roxb.)

8. Hibiscus acetosella Welw. ex Hiern.(occurrence in India??)

42. Hibiscus tiliaceus L. subsp. hastatus (L.f.) Borss. Waalk.

43. Hibiscus tricuspis Banks

44. Hibiscus trionum L.
45. Hibiscus vitifolius L. (syn: Fioria vitifolia (L.) Matt.; Kosteletzkya vitifolia (L.) M.R.Almeida & N.Patil)

Thanks … for the initiative. The list is exhaustive!

I think Abelmoschus tuberculatus Pal & Singh and Abelmoschus moschatus subsp. tuberosus (Span.) Borss.Waalk. may be added to the list (Ref. GRIN).
I am not sure of the current status of Abelmoschus manihot subsp. tetraphyllus var. megaspermus Hemadri
And, for the name Hibiscus angulosus in the list, Abelmoschus angulosus Wall. ex Wight & Arn. seem to be the accepted name (GRIN & TPL).

Thanks for the useful information … I will surely incorporate it.
