HIBISCUS is chiefly tropical shrub or tree, which has large, showy and variously colored flowers with numerous stamens united into a tube. The leaves are simple, oval shaped and the flower is large, conspicuous, trumpet-shaped, with five or more petals, ranging from white to pink, red, orange, purple or yellow.
There are approximately 200 to 220 species of hibiscus native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Hibiscus is widely known for its medical use in Chinese herbology and the hibiscus tea is famous for reducing blood pressure and cholesterol level.
