In the paper 32 species of Hibiscus have been described. The section Abelmoschus of Masters in Hooker's flora of British India has been excluded since. Abelmoschus Medicus is now widely recognised as a separate genus. Most of the species grow in the warmer regions with a moderate to heavy annual rainfall. In the Malabar Region occurs about 50 percent of the total Indian Hibiscus species; the eastern zone of Gangetic Plain contains 43.75 percent. Three Hibiscus are mostly concentrated in the Gangetic Plain and the Assam Region.

A few species like H. vitifolius, H. surattensis etc., have wide distribution, while H. watsoni, is endemic to Burma.
