Hibiscus tiliaceus Sessé & Moc., Fl. Mexic., ed. 2, 161. 1894, sphalm.
Distribution: Exotic in Cuba, Virgin Islands (St. Croix, St. John, St.
Thomas), United States (FL), Mexico, Central America, and South
America; native to the Paleotropics.
References: 151, 159, 228, 238 260, 445, 601, 606.
Note: The taxonomy of Hibiscus tiliaceus sensu lato is unsatisfactory
as it appears to be a highly variable taxon. The Neotropical
material of this complex is recognized here as H. tiliaceus var.
pernambucensis and the Paleotropical material as H. tiliaceus
var. tiliaceus. The latter also includes introductions into the New
World in cultivation especially as street trees.

Distribution: Native to Cuba and United States; adventive in Europe.
References: 260, 601, 603.
Note: Kosteletzkya is perhaps better included in a broadly
circumscribed Hibiscus (603). Linnaeus capitalized the epithet
“pentacarpos,” thereby indicating that it is to be treated as a
generic noun in apposition. It is thus correct to retain the original
Greek masculine ending (Blanchard, Novon 18: 7. 2008).
