Tropical Zone Gardening: Restless natives of the Top End, 1 by tropicbreeze

I doubt the one in the pot would be Hibiscus heterophyllus. When I searched it, the range was only up the east coast of Australia, and it grows to 6 metres. The one in the pot I've only ever seen to half a metre. It's closer to H. diversifolius.

This one looks like Hibiscus menzeliae, but I can't see the leaves to be sure. H. menzeliae has hairy leaves, another similar flowered one has smooth leaves. They both grow in sandstone country. I do have photos of both, but haven't turned up the definite H. menzeliae yet.
