However, recent research has indicated that the Queensland plant should be regarded as a separate species (i.e. Lagunaria queenslandica).
The Queensland pyramid tree (Lagunaria queenslandica) can be distinguished from Norfolk Island hibiscus (Lagunaria patersonia) by its cup-shaped floral bracts (i.e. cupular epicalyx), which are quickly shed (i.e. caducous).
