Hibiscus surattensis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 696, 1200. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 5094.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Rumphius, Herb. Amboin. 4: 40, t. 16. 1743.

Current name: Hibiscus surattensis L. ( Malvaceae).

Note: Borssum Waalkes (in Blumea 14: 58. 1966) and others have treated 875.29 (LINN) as the type, but the sheet lacks the relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “12”), and was a post-1753 addition to the collection, and is not original material for the name.
