Hello friends

This shrub was seen in the Karnala Sanctuary, MH in November 2025.

Assuming this to be Hibiscus hispidissimus, kindly validate.


Thanks and Regards

Thank you Saroj ji. But i did not find Sabdariffa surattensis listed in eFI?

Is is the same as Hibiscus hispidissimus?

It is not necessary that all sps. are already listed in the efi rather we are adding up with new sps.
By the way, you may also be right, but there are not sufficient images showing all aspects of 
leaves, flowering buds, fruits etc. to come to the conclusion.

Thank you.
