"Hibiscus syriacus" is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to India and much of Asia. It was given the epithet "syriacus" because it had been collected from gardens in Syria. Common names include rose of Sharon, Syrian ketmia or rose mallow, St Joseph's rod and Rosa de Sharon.
