Jasminum sambac (syn. Nyctanthes sambac) is a species of jasmine native to southern Asia, in India, Thailand, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. Common names include Arabian Jasmine, Mogra (Hindi), Kampupot, Melati (Malay and Indonesian Language), Sampaguita (Tagalog language), and Mallipu ([Tamil]).
Many of these species are grown for their showy flowers and many are used as landscape shrubs. Hibiscus syriacus (Mugunghwa or "Rose of Sharon") is the national flower of South Korea, while Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Bunga Raya or "Chinese hibiscus") is the national flower of Malaysia. The ma‘o hau hele (Hibiscus brackenridgei) is the state flower of Hawai‘i.
In temperate zones, probably the most commonly grown ornamental species is Hibiscus syriacus, the common garden Hibiscus, also known in some areas as the "Rose of Althea" or "Rose of Sharon" (but not to be confused with the unrelated Hypericum calycinum, also called "Rose of Sharon"). In tropical and subtropical areas, the Chinese hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis), with its many showy hybrids, is the most popular hibiscus.
Hibiscus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Chionodes hibiscella, Hypercompe hambletoni, The Nutmeg and Turnip Moth.
About 200-220 species are known, including:
Hibiscus acetosella
Hibiscus arnottianus - Koki'o
Hibiscus brackenridgei - Ma'o hau hele
Hibiscus calyphyllus
Hibiscus cameronii
Hibiscus cannabinus - Kenaf
Hibiscus cisplatinus
Hibiscus clayi - Hawaiian hibiscus (red)
Hibiscus coccineus
Hibiscus diversifolius etc.
