Hibiscus pusillus is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to seasonally dry areas of southern Africa.[2][1] There is some confusion with Hibiscus trionum, with which it shares the common names bladderweed and Terblansbossie (Afrikaans), perhaps due to the name Hibiscus pusillus Eckl. & Zeyh. being a synonym of Hibiscus trionum L., sometimes called the bladder hibiscus.[3][4][5]
