Hibiscus , or rosemallow, is
a large genus of about 200–220 species of flowering plants in the family
Malvaceae, native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout
the world. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, and
woody shrubs and small trees.
The leaves are alternate,
simple, ovate to lanceolate, often with a toothed or lobed margin.
The flowers are large,
conspicuous, trumpet-shaped, with five or more petals, ranging from white to
pink, red, purple or yellow, and from 4-15 cm broad.
The fruit is a dry five-lobed
capsule, containing several seeds in each lobe, which are released when the
capsule splits open at maturity.
