description_en: Genus of 4 species of evergreen shrubs, formerly included in Hibiscus, growing wild in dry scrub in Australia (Northern Territory, Southern Australia, Western Australia). The leaves are alternate and entire to deeply lobed. They are valued for their large, attractive, hibiscus-like flowers, which are produced singly from the upper leaf axils from late spring to autumn. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool greenhouse and stand plants outdoors in summer. In frost-free areas, grow in a border or at the base of a wall. Established plants will tolerate short periods of drought.
