Hibiscus tiliaceus
Hibiscus tiliaceus
Hibiscus tiliaceus, commonly known as the paper-mulberry or Indian mulberry, is a tree native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. Traditional uses for this plant are not well-documented in existing literature. Laboratory evaluations have shown that Hibiscus tiliaceus exhibits variable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities depending on soil conditions, with some studies indicating potential benefits. A novel Kitasatospora species, named Kitasatospora hibisci sp. nov., was isolated from the rhizosphere of this plant and demonstrated antimicrobial activity. The leaves contain compounds such as kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside and rutin, which have shown potent antisickling and strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects respectively. Under combined lead and drought stress conditions, Hibiscus tiliaceus exhibited reduced growth compared to individual stresses, suggesting its sensitivity to environmental factors. No significant safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
