Abstract

AbstractHibiscus tiliaceusis an amphibious evergreen tree species which grows naturally in coastal and terrestrial habitats. Flowering and fruiting is mostly seasonal. It is self-compatible, protandrous, ambophilous involving melittophily and anemophily, and hydrochorous. Melittophily involves certain bees, which effect sternotribic pollination. Anemophily is functional only during the afternoon period. Delayed autonomous autogamy, a characteristic of the Malvaceae family, is not functional in this species. The tree has dual modes of regeneration, by seed and by sprouting prostrate stems. It is a most suitable species for coastal and inland eco-restoration.
