Abutilon
Common Name: Chinese lantern
Family: Malvaceae
This group is represented by several species, hybrids and cultivars. They are relatives of the hibiscus and have distincive hanging bell-shaped flowers. The Abutilon is a plant not often seen in local gardens anymore. The lanky growth habit doesn't suit many modern landscapes, but the style of the shrub, with suitable management, could be incorporated into a cottage garden or Japanese garden.
There are many colour variations in existence, as well as some variation in plant habit among the group.
