Hibiscadelphus

Hibiscadelphus is a rare genus of flowering plants that displays remarkable adaptability to its native Hawaiian cliffside habitats. These plants are characterized by their woody growth habit and vibrant, bell-shaped flowers that hang elegantly, often in shades of yellow, orange, or purple. The tubular structure of the flowers is uniquely adapted to attract specific pollinators, an evolutionary response to their isolated environment.
