Dear All,

Request for identification of a Malvaceae shrub from Mahe. Photographed in November, 2019. Is it Hibiscus rosa-sinensis or some other species. Leaves are trilobed.

Thanks and Regards,

B. Subramaniam

Leaves of H.rosa-sinensis are quite different. Check for Hibiscus mutabilis. Confederate rose. Also watch for the change of colour in the flowers .

I guess Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has different shaped leaves.

Thank you.

Thank you very much Mahadeshwara ji and Saroj ji. The flower colour does not change. In fact H. mutabilis is also present in the same campus. The trilobed leaves and clustered flowers looked different from the commonly seen China rose. Perhaps this seems to be a mutant variety.

Regards
