Family Malvaceae
HAWAII - CULTIVATED
Hibiscus tiliaceus
Thick-leaf variety
THICKLEAF HAU
Shrub grown from seed collected at UH Manoa growout facility. Potted plant
incorrectly labeled as Lebronnecia
kokioides. Likely a hybrid form of
Hibiscus
tiliaceus and related species. Leaves stiff & entirely
glabrous, 10cm long, new leaves light green, large oval bracts at leaf axils, petals
2.5 inches long, corolla opening halfway, fading red. Apparently
self-incompatible, pollination attempts fail to produce seed.
