What is Lilac hibiscus

Blue Hibiscus or Lilac hibiscus (Scientific name: Alyogyne huegelii) is a non-cold evergreen shrub in the family Malvaceae, native to Australia.
Blue hibiscus is also known as lilac hibiscus because of the color of its flowers.
The stamens are clothed in a tubular shape because it is a member of the family Malvaceae.
It is a non-cold evergreen shrub of the same family of cypresses as Hibiscus (Hibiscus).
The name is partly associated with hibiscus, but blue hibiscus (A. huegelii) is a member of the genus Ariogine, whereas hibiscus (Hibiscus) is a member of the genus Fagus.
The name is partly associated with hibiscus, but blue hibiscus (A. huegelii) is a member of the genus Ariogine, whereas hibiscus is a member of the genus Fagus.
Blue hibiscus (A. huegelii) has only a reddish-purple flower color, like the blue in its name, and only a single petal.
Hibiscus, on the other hand, has a wide variety of flower colors and blooms in both single and double forms.
Blue hibiscus (A. huegelii) has a white star-shaped tip on the center of the flower column, but Hibiscus has a five-part tip.
The leaves of Blue Hibiscus (A. huegelii) are deeply palmarized, whereas the leaves of Hibiscus are egg-shaped.
From the above, we can distinguish blue hibiscus (A. huegelii) from hibiscus.
