• Lectotype: "Specimen 1888.F is marked “H. Roxb.” and is labeled Hibiscus populneoides in Roxburgh’s hand. It matches Roxburgh’s description and undoubtedly should be regarded as lectotype. It is here so designated. Roxburgh’s plate, Icones Roxburghianae No. 352 is a good representation of the species except that the leaves are drawn as crenate, wrong for anything in this affinity."
