Hibiscus elsworthii F. Muell., Fragm.

Hibiscus elsworthii F.Muell., Fragm. 8(70): 241 (1874) Type citation: ‘Ad sinum Edgecombe-Bay; Fitzalan’ Type: Queensland: Edgecombe-Bay, E. F. A. Fitzalan (holo: MEL 18677). Descriptions and illustrations Bailey (1913, p. 58). Notes A name of uncertain application that some workers have suggested may belong in section Furcaria but close examination of the type specimen suggests that this is more likely to be closer to section Lilibiscus Hochr. (B. Wannan, pers. comm.). Wilson (1974, p. 180) also considered this species to fall outside the circumscription of Hibiscus section Furcaria.
