The leaves are, as the name indicates, exceedingly variable in form: linear, lanceolate, oblong, and with a tendency to 3-lobing in the broader forms. These leaves are 5 to 6 inches long and in some varieties white beneath, though usually green on both sides. Besides these two shrubby species, we include a tall swamp-growing hardy herb, Swamp Rose Mallow (.57) — Hibiscus Moscheiitos. It grows 3 to 7 feet high, has white or pink flowers 4 to 8 inches broad often with a crimson center, in summer. The ovoid capsule is 1 inch long and remains on the plant through the winter. The leaves are large, ovate, notch-edged, sometimes slightly 3-lobed and almost velvety beneath. [Seeds; twig cuttings.].
