Satyendra ji,

Sorry for my earlier id.

I had posted the same earlier and it was identified by Satish Pardeshi ji and Tanay as Hibiscus furcellatus, common names Sleepy Hibiscus, Hawaiian Pink Hibiscus, Salad Hibiscus or Linden-leaf Rose Mallow.

I am really bad at giving links.

Regards,

Aarti.

It may be a cultivar of Hibiscus radiatus (?).

Garg ji,

Hibiscus furcellatus in toptropicals.com looks the same.

Kindly check.

I am unable to give the link.

Shrikant ji,

Similar ones were posted by me earlier and identified as Hibiscus furcellatus.

Today I saw a post with similar flowers identified by you as Hibiscus sabdariffa.

Kindly validate so that I can correct my earlier post too.

Gurcharan ji,

Could you kindly clear this confusion of id for me please?

It can't be H. cannabinus as bifurcate epicalyx tip is very clear, also the outer branch is almost linear suggesting H. radiatus. To be doubly sure look for nectary on lower side of the leaf near base. It should be missing. They must also be missing on the calyx lobes (nectary is present on each calyx lobe and leaf beneath and epicalyx appendage is missing in H. cannabinus).
