This is from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh
Kindly confirm and oblige

Is it ornamental plant ?
Pl. check Gossypium arboreum L.
To me appears close.

Thank you very much

It is ornamental and found in garden/house
It is grown for flower and the small tree survives for many years.

It could be Gossypium arboretum

this is it appears Abroma angusta


Can be a Hibiscus.. but surely not Abroma augusta.


Agree with … not abroma for sure
several members have uploaded abroma in the last 12 to 16 months…
one was myself during the malvaceae week, pictures are here .
another is by …, his pictures are here.
Looks like a hibiscus… further classification I at least cant tell, sorry


Hibiscus, yes but difficult to ID with these images!


I think this is Gossypium arboreum L. as per images and details herein.
