Description

Hibiscus brasiliensis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 977. 1763.

"Habitat in Brasilia." RCN: 5085.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Plumier in Burman, Pl. Amer.: 153, t. 160, f. 1. 1758.

Current name: Hibiscus brasiliensis L. (Malvaceae).

Note: This has been treated as a nomen dubium by some authors, including Robyns (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 52: 509. 1966) and Fryxell (in Fl. Neotropical 76. 254. 1999), but no proposal for rejection has been made. Hibiscus phoenicea Jacq. has sometimes been taken up in its place.
