Description:

Known in Fijian as the vau, Hibiscus tiliaceus or Mangrove Hibiscus is a vital ingredient in the diet of Fiji's endangered crested iguana. The flowers of H. tiliaceus are bright yellow with a deep red centre upon opening. Over the course of the day, the flowers deepen to orange and finally red before they fall.
