Dear Garg ji

Garg ji, Mohina ji's posted plant is Hibiscus hirtus.
The central structure (style) in case of H. micranthus is different. Thus the two species are easily differentiated.

Attaching a snapshot of H. micranthus from Shrikant ji's book Flowers of Sahyadri (Aug 2012 edition).

Regards.

Thanks, Dinesh ji.

But from what ever calyx portion I can see, it is Hibiscus micranthus as per Keys in Malvaceae of Southern Peninsular India: A Taxonomic Monograph 

Also it appears to be of shrubby nature.

[J.M. Garg]

Calyx appears to be cut only up to the middle (micranthus) and not up to the bottom (hirtus), between calyx lobes.

Thanks Garg ji.

Let us take it as micranthus based on calyx as stated in the monograph.

Regards.

Dinesh
