The Malvaceae family includes the flowering plant Thespesia populnea. It is a tiny shrub or tree. Thespesia populnea is a plant in the same genus as Thespesia populnea that resembles Hibiscus tiliaceus. The environment is the same. The flowers are yellow and bloom in the morning before becoming crimson. However, unlike the sea peony blossom, the sea peony flower does not have a red circle inside the flower. The leaves are heart-shaped, similar to those of Bodhi. Soft hairs cover the underside of the leaves, allowing water to gently drain from the leaves.
