Identification of Hibiscus sp.<\/a> : 18 posts by 6 authors. Attachments<\/span> (<\/font>4<\/font>)<\/font><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
Pl help me to identify the enclosed Hibiscus<\/i> sp.<\/div>\n
Shrubby, leaves acutely lobed, upper leaves simple, margin minutely toothed. Peduncle shorted than the pedicel, Bracteoles 5, longer than the calyx, Calyx 5, ovate, acute, 3 nerved, Corolla yellow with brown spot inside.<\/font><\/div>\n
Possible suggestion: Hibiscus canescens<\/i><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

It was recorded at Yelagiri Hills, a dry deciduous forest area<\/font> in Vellore District of Tamilnadu on 01-01-2016<\/font><\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Looks like Hibiscus mutabilis<\/i>. Does the color of the calyx change in the evening?<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
h mutablis<\/i> with such dark centre. I don’t think so!!!<\/p>\n
\n

Whether it could be\u00a0Hibiscus lunariifolius\u00a0<\/i>Willd<\/font>.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I think it does match with any species in efi so far as per comparative images at <\/font>Hibiscus<\/i><\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Please check for\u00a0<\/font>Abelmoschus<\/i> sps.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

is it hibiscus tiliacious<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Does not match with images of Hibiscus tiliaceus<\/i><\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Photographs show that it may be Hibiscus lunariifolius<\/i> Willd., a species occurs in Peninsular India.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Most likely the plant specimen you have uploaded is Hibiscus hispidissimus <\/i>which grow always wild<\/p>\n

\n
Hibiscus hispidissimus Griff.<\/i> is having epicalyx segments 8-12 and always bifurcated at apex with one part ovate and another part long projecting upwards.<\/font><\/p>\n
\n

The Hibiscus hispidissimus<\/i> has 8-12, bracts\u00a0with leafy appendages, which differs from the post. And hence it may not conform to Hibiscus hispidissimus<\/i>.<\/div>\n

The suggestion by Dr. T K Paul, Hibiscus<\/i> lunariifolius<\/i> Willd appears to match.<\/p>\n

I could not find a match either at <\/font>Abelmoschus<\/font><\/a>\u00a0or at<\/font> \u200eHibiscus<\/font><\/a>\u00a0as per comparative images.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/font><\/span><\/span>It is Hibiscus lunariifolius<\/i> Willd.,\u00a0<\/p>\n
