Pentapetes phoenicea
A small woody plant native to South Asia.
Small stellate hairs are found scattered on stem and leaves.
Though the flower looks like those of hibiscus, we can identify them from their leaves which are olive green in color with serrated margins.
Flowers are with 5 red petals and yellow colored stamens.
The flowers are often compared to the sun as they are of glowing red color and blooms at night.
They produce elliptically shaped seeds which are covered with stellate hairs.
The plant is grown as a ornamental plant but considered as a weed in rice fields.
Sometimes used as a source of fibres.
This plant is mainly used in fever and snake bites.
