This is a rare native Hawaiian hibiscus called Kokio Ula Ula or St. John's Red hibiscus..it's a small flowered form..about 4 inch flower or less.Deep veination, and a dull finish.Almost extinct in Hawaii.I crossed this plants pollen to schizopetalus and have a seed pod thats almost ripe.Have no idea what kind of flowers will result.Thats the fun..I have also crossed Hib. Hyb. Vulcan to this plant..too early to tell if seeds will develop.
