As per efi thread<\/a>\u00a0:
\nHibiscus furcatus<\/em> Wall. is the synonym of H. surattensis<\/strong> L., a name used in FBI and still holding true (fork has one spoon shaped appendage and one small erect linear branch; stipules large leafy ear-shaped; leaves 3-5-fid).<\/span>
\nHibiscus furcatus<\/em> Roxb. described in FBI\u00a0 and now correctly known as H. hispidissimus<\/strong> Griff. (both forks linear; stipules lanceolate-oblong; leaves entire or 3-lobed).
\nHibiscus furcatus<\/em> Willd., a synonym of\u00a0 Hibiscus rostellatus<\/strong> Guill. & Perr. an African plant not found in India.
\nOther expected species in India, cultivated or naturalised from this group (forked epicalyx segments) include.
\nHibiscus radiatus<\/strong> Willd. epicalyx 8-10, with linear fork segments, stipules linear; leaves deeply 3-5 lobed.
\nHibiscus acetosella<\/strong>: epicalyx 9-10, apically forked, leaves irregularly 3-5 lobed.
\nHibiscus cannabinus<\/strong> looks similar to above two species but is distinct in deeply 3-7-parted leaves and importantly with epicalyx segments not being forked.<\/span><\/div>\n

Help building a key for genus Hibiscus:<\/a><\/p>\n

Our website already has keys for Indian species of Solanum, Cassia, Senna<\/em> and Chamaecrista<\/em>. 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.

Thanks … for the initiative. The list is exhaustive!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I think Abelmoschus tuberculatus<\/b> Pal & Singh and Abelmoschus moschatus<\/b> subsp. tuberosus <\/b>(Span.) Borss. Waalk. may be added to the list (Ref. GRIN).
\nI am not sure of the current status of Abelmoschus<\/i> manihot<\/i> subsp. tetraphyllus<\/i> var. megaspermus<\/i> Hemadri
\nAnd, for the name Hibiscus angulosus<\/em> in the list, Abelmoschus angulosus<\/b> Wall. ex Wight & Arn. seem to be the accepted name (GRIN & TPL).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Thanks for the useful information … I will surely incorporate it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hibiscus<\/a> : 1 post by 1 author.<\/div>\n
\n

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Hibiscus<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the<\/span> species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible<\/span>. <\/span>It\u2019s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.<\/span><\/p>\n

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any comments are welcome<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Further updated the <\/span>Hibiscus<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0page.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pl. go through \u200e<\/em>Hibiscus<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0page with images of species (done by) in efloraofindia. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know<\/span><\/p>\n
