Pavonia × gledhillii is an evergreen flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae.
Etymology
The generic name honours Spanish botanist José Antonio Pavón Jiménez (1754-1844).[1] The epithet gledhillii come from Dr. David Gledhill, curator in 1989 of University of Bristol Botanic Garden.
Description
Pavonia × gledhillii is a 19th Century hybrid of Pavonia makoyana, E. Morrem and Pavonia multiflora, A. Juss., often incorrectly confused with Pavonia multiflora.
This subshrub is intermediate between the two species of origin in almost all respects, but it has nine to ten equal broad bracts and sub-entire leaf margins. It can reach a height of about 2 metres (6 ft 7 in). The unusual flowers are purple-grey enclosed within a bright red calyx. Flowering period is late Summer.
