Species of other genera of Hibisceae found in China, such as Abelmoschus, Malvaviscus, and Urena, fall within a monophyletic Hibiscus clade.

  • Althea (Rose of Sharon)
    Common Name: Althea (Rose of Sharon) Scientific Name: Hibiscus syriacus Order: Malvales Family: Malvaceae Description Althea is a deciduous plant. It has a summer flowering period in which it bears pleasing hollyhock flowers well into the fall. This is a vigorous, upright growing deciduous vase-shaped shrub which can be either left to grow in multi-stemmed shape or thinned to a single stem small tree. Leaves are 3-lobed, medium green in color with a coarse texture. From early summer through the fall it bears very showy hollyhock-like-petaled flowers which can be 3” in diameter. Flowers vary in color but are often pink with red centers. A notable white stamen forms in the center of the flower. Growth Habit Althea is an easy-to-grow shrub. It grows with a height increase of 13-24” per year. The growth rate ranges from slow to moderate, and transplanting is easy. Hardiness Zone(s) Althea grows in U.S Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 5 (UK) but is also able to grow in the zones 5b-9a, as well as higher zones where temperatures are not extreme. Culture Althea can grow and survive in full sun, partial sun, or even partial shade. It has certain soil tolerances and soils can vary from sand, loam, clay; acidic; occasionally wet; well-drained. It also has a moderate tolerance to drought. It can grow in suitable pH; the range that is tolerated by the althea varies from 3.7-7.3. Prune the althea in late winter or early spring to promote the new growth and maintain larger flower size.

  • Hibiscus Syriacus Rose-Of-Sharon1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-295 November 1993 Hibiscus syriacus Rose-of-Sharon1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Rose-of-Sharon is valued for large flowers produced in summer when few other shrubs bloom (Fig. 1). It is useful as a garden accent due to its strict, upright habit. The open, loose branches and light green leaves make Rose-of-Sharon ideally suited to formal or informal plantings, and with a little pruning makes an attractive, small specimen tree. The plant grows in sun or partial shade and in any soil. Rose-of-Sharon grows 8 to 10 feet tall and spreads 4 to 10 feet. The growth rate ranges from slow to moderate, and transplanting is easy. Several roots are usually located just beneath the soil surface.

  • Review and Advances in Style Curvature for the Malvaceae Cheng-Jiang Ruan*
    ® International Journal of Plant Developmental Biology ©2010 Global Science Books Review and Advances in Style Curvature for the Malvaceae Cheng-Jiang Ruan* Key Laboratory of Biotechnology & Bio-Resources Utilization, Dalian Nationalities University, Dalian City, Liaoning 116600, China Correspondence : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The flowers of the Malvaceae with varying levels of herkogamy via style curvature have long intrigued evolutionary botanists. This review covers the flower opening process, approach herkogamy, style curvature and character evolution based on molecular phylogenetic trees, adaptive significances of style curvature and the mating system in some portions of the genera in this family. Hermaphroditic flowers of some species have showy petals and pollen and nectar rewards to pollinators. Approach herkogamy, in which stigmas are located on the top of a monadelphous stamen, has evolved as a mechanism to reduce the frequency of intra-floral self-pollination or the interference between male-female organs. Protandrous or monochogamous flowers in the fields open at about 5-7 days and 1-2 days respectively, and pollination is conducted by insects and birds. Interestingly, un-pollinated styles in some species curve when pollination fails. According to our observations and published or internet data, this curvature occurs in 23 species distributed in eight genera of four tribes (Malvavisceae, Ureneae, Hibisceae, Malveae) and appears to have evolved at least eight times. A shift to use style curvature is associated with a shift to annual or perennial herbs, and an unpredictable pollinator environment is likely an important trigger for this evolution. The adaptive significances of style curvature in the Malvaceae include delayed selfing, promotion of outcrossing or reduction in intrafloral male-female interference, sometimes two or three of which simultaneously occur in style curvature of one species (e.g., Kosteletzkya virginica).

Abstract: The phytochemical analysis showed that Hibiscus rosa-sinensis contained tannins, anthraquinones, quinines, phenols, flavanoides, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, cardiac glycosides, protein, free amino acids, carbohydrates, reducing sugars, mucilage, essential oils and steroids. The previous pharmacological studies revealed that Hibiscus rosa-sinensis possessed reproductive, antidiabetic, fibrinolytic, hypolipidemic, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, immuno-modulatory, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, memory enhancement, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, dermatological, anti-haemolytic, urinary, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, antitussive and many other effects. The current review will discuss the chemical constituents, pharmacological effects and therapeutic importance of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.

  • Hibiscus Syriacus 'Diana'
    Hibiscus syriacus ‘Diana’ The U.S. National Arboretum presents Hibiscus syriacus ‘Diana’, a rose-of-sharon introduction with a flower as lovely as the Greek goddess for which it is named. Beautiful, large, pure-white flowers produce little seed. Thus, ‘Diana’ will bloom continuously from late June until frost. This amazing shrub selection has excellent, dark green, pollution-resistant foliage. It tolerates extreme heat, drought, and poor soil, but will grow best in soil with moderate fertility and moisture. Recipient of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Gold Medal Plant Award in 1991. U.S. National Arboretum Plant Introduction Floral and Nursery Plants Research Unit U.S. National Arboretum, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 3501 New York Ave. NE., Washington, DC 20002 ‘Diana’ rose-of-Sharon Botanical name: Hibiscus syriacus L. ‘Diana’ (NA 32225; PI 347257) Family: Malvaceae Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–8 Development: ‘Diana’ resulted from the cross of a polyploid Hibiscus syriacus seedling with white petals and red eye with a heavily ruffled, white seedling with the standard chromosome number. Originally, the polyploid parent was presumed to be tetraploid and the other parent diploid, resulting in sterile triploid offspring, but it is now understood that the polyploid parent was octoploid and the parent with typical chromosome numbers was tetraploid, resulting in hexaploid offspring. The cross was made by Dr Donald Egolf at the U.S. National Arboretum in 1963. The cultivar first flowered in 1964 and was named and released in 1970. Significance: ‘Diana’ is distinct because of its waxy, heavy-textured, wide-spreading, ruffled, pure white flowers that remain open for more than one day, as well as for its heavy, dark green leaves, its dense branching, and its upright growth habit.

Moreover, in vitro evaluations of their cytotoxic, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antiobesity activities were carried out. )e results showed that aqueous extract of Hibiscus calyphyllus had the highest activity as an antioxidant agent (SC50 = 111 ± 1.5 μg/mL) compared with ascorbic acid (SC50 = 14.2 ± 0.5 μg/mL).
