Thanks Tanayji for the lead...

But 'rotundifolia' refers to the round shape of leaf...

Not sure though..

Regards,
Ritesh.

I am not familiar with Dombeya. But this looks like Hibsicus mutabilis
to me. Correct me if I am wrong.

Regards,
Sandhya

Yes may be Hibiscus matabilis. Flowers are solitary not in cymes, also epicalyx can be seen in fruit.
