|discussion=<p>Hibiscus poeppigii has been called H. pilosus (Swartz) Fawcett & Rendle (for example, J. K. Small 1933; R. W. Long and O. Lakela 1971), a name that pertains to a species of Malvaviscus. In the flora area, H. poeppigii is confined to Miami-Dade and Monroe counties; it has been erroneously cited from mid-peninsular Florida on the basis of a mislabeled specimen. The floral characteristics suggest hummingbird pollination.</p>
