Abutilon ×hybridum
Abutilon ×hybridum is a cultivar group of flowering shrubs in the mallow family, often grown as houseplants or patio plants under the names Chinese lantern or parlour maple. Its parentage is uncertain, so growth habit varies widely; keep it in bright light and water when the top soil dries.
Abutilon × hybridum is a species name used for a wide variety of different types of flowering plants of uncertain origin in the genus Abutilon. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the name, they are often considered a cultivar group: Abutilon x Hybridum Group or Abutilon Hybridum Group. They are cultigens, not occurring in the wild. As with the larger genus Abutilon generally, they have been referred to by the common names Chinese lantern, and parlour maple.
