There are over 200 species of hibiscus flower, cultivated varieties have red, white, yellow, or orange flowers. The leaves are often lobed and may be smooth or covered in trichomes (plant hairs). It belongs to the FAMILY - MALVACEAE(MALLOW or COTTON FAMILY). Hibiscus Flowers also has fibers in their stem thus they are used Robes, Substitute for Jute, Canvas etc.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>\huge\textbf{Placentation}</h2>

The arrangement of placenta within the ovary is known as placentation. Ovules are attached to the inner wall of special tissues which are called placenta, the ovules are attached by the small stalk called funicules. There are several type of Placentations i.e. Basal, Marginal, central, axile, parietal.

Placentation in Hibiscus is Axil. In Axil placentation the placentae are located on a central column. Partitions from the central column to the ovary wall create chambers (locules) that separate the placentae and attached ovaries from each other.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>\huge\textbf{Gynoecium}</h2>

Gynoecium is a female whorl of the flower. It is composed of Carpels. Carpel is composed of Sigma, Style and Ovary.

<h2 />

Gynoecium in Hibiscus is Multicarpellary(Five Carpels), Syncarpous(Carpel United), Ovary Superior(Ovary attached above other floral parts) , Multilocular(Cavity of ovary divided into small compartments), One to many ovules in each locules, Style is one and long, Stigma depends on number of carpels.

Nectar is a sugar-rich liquid produced by plants in glands called nectaries. Both Cross-Pollination and Self-Pollination found.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>\huge\textbf{Features}</h2>
  • Trichome(Plant Hair) Stem
  • Mucilage in the tissue. Mucilage is thick gluey substance.
