HIBISCUS hypoglossumE. Mey. [family MALVACEAE], !
Information
annual; the branches, peduncles and petioles armed with hooked tubercles; leaves deeply 5-lobed, with lanceolate, toothed lobes; stipules broadly semi-cordate, clasping the stem; peduncles axillary, one-flowered; invol. of many spathulate leaflets, each furnished in front with an inflexed, subulate appendix; calyx-lobes deltoid, acuminate, with a densely setose mid-rib. Chiefly distinguished from H. furcatus by the shape and size of the stipules. Flowers yellow with a deep red or purple centre. The curious form of involucral leaflets which marks these two species may be referred to what is called, “ deduplication ,” and its occurrence in Malvaceæ, where the stamens (as Dr. Gray has ably shown) are developed in a similar way, is not without significance.
