Reported in flower

Usually reported in flower mid-July to mid-September, middle week Aug 2–8.

From 596 records that show flowers. Not every photo of a plant in flower is marked as flowering, so this shows when people reported it in flower, not when it flowers.

Reported in fruit

No fruiting season shown here. Most records come from a single year, so a season is not shown yet.

What these results show

These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.

Identification

How to identify it

Often confused with

  • common hibiscus Hibiscus syriacusOften confused in Ohio: 77 identifications in Ohio named one where the other was meant
  • Muenchhusia laevis Muenchhusia laevisOften confused in Ohio: 36 identifications in Ohio named one where the other was meant
  • wild potato vine Ipomoea pandurata19 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
  • flower-of-an-hour Hibiscus trionum10 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant

From iNaturalist’s similar-species counts, refreshed monthly: confusions in Ohio first, then worldwide. Only species with an Ohio result are listed.

Times of day, land cover and photos from records are not shown for species whose locations are protected.

Finer identifications

Some Ohio records of this species were identified to a subspecies:

  • Muenchhusia moscheutos subsp. moscheutossubspecies

Every one of these records counts toward Muenchhusia moscheutos's season above.

Why some records go further than species

Many plants vary from place to place. Botanists name these groups at three levels below species: subspecies, variety and form, from the broadest difference to the smallest. Observers and experts only identify a record that far when it shows enough detail to tell them apart. Records without that detail count at the species level.
