Anisodontea x hypomandarum (?)
Malvaceae
Kristin Yanker-Hansen, Danville.

This is the most usual form cultivated and the parentage is unknown. It is a shrub which can reach 10 feet in height with slender hairy branches bearing 1.5 inch 3-lobed leaves. The flowers are a little over an inch across and are white or flushed pink. There are deep purple veins at the base. All species come from South Africa so this is almost certainly a hybrid. Many of the 19 species have magenta flowers.
