Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallowfamily, Malvaceae. It is quite large, containing several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are often noted for their showy flowers and are commonly known simply as hibiscus, or less widely known as rose mallow. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greekword ἱβίσκος (hibískos), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40–90) gave toAlthaea officinalis
