Note	Hibiscus syriacus 'Hamabo' is an obviously different plant from Talipariti hamabo (Siebold & Zuccarini) Fryxell (syn. Hibiscus hamabo Siebold & Zuccarini). I think that the cultivar name 'Hamabo' is wrong, because this may cause confusion of species name.
	Talipariti tiliaceum (L.) Fryxell (syn. Hibiscus tiliaceus L.) is a similar plant to Talipariti hamabo (Hibiscus hamabo). Talipariti tiliaceum occurs in tropical Asia (including China), Australia, Africa and America. Cultivated and introduced Talipariti tiliaceum can be found in many places of Okinawa.
