A mini review on phytochemical and therapeutic potentiality of Hibiscus: An ornamental plant species

Deblina Mitra, Moumita Saha and Sirshendu Chatterjee

China rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), often known as the "Queen of Tropics," is a prominent flower throughout the Asian subcontinent's tropical regions. It is known as Joba in Bengali. This name was first postulated by Carolus Linnaeus. It is abundant in subtropical and tropical locations, and it is commonly grown as a decorative plant. It typically blooms in various colors of red, with yellow pollen. Overall, the Hibiscus is a dicot with solitary (axillary), beautiful flowers with a superior ovary, uniform symmetry, and axile placentation. They have five carpels, five locules, and five sepals, with a variable number of stamens. The root is a taproot with branches. This review explicates the distribution and description of the Hibiscus plant, along with its phytochemical as well as various bioactive chemical composition and their structures, the ethno-medicinal and botanical benefits on human health, and toxicity research. Altogether, this study provides an all-inclusive understanding of the plant Hibiscus, including its physical, chemical, and structural characteristics.
