Habit : Cultivated Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii (Torr. & A.Gray) Schery. or some other ?? Also check Possibly Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii ?? I checked and could not differentiate. Pl. go through the discussions herein. I will go with first the flower is past its prime and both are open. the calyx and epicalyx of the front one covered by an invading catterpillar i think. though i suspect the calyx and epicalyx may have been the same size as seen in pictures of Texas mallow. leaves are three veined from the base in this case, and i suspect in the picture of texas mallow i cited above. i suspect this could be temporirily put under Texas mallow, as per … opinion and not our regular Lanka joba or Malvaviscus arboreus Cav. … had this as diagnostic feature Flowers erect, less than 4 cm long, leaves nearly ovate, 5-veined from base..…Malvaviscus arboreus Cav. — there is no way to follow this up. so we are stuck with: possible diagnosis |
