Common names include sea hibiscus, beach hibiscus, coastal (or coast) hibiscus, coastal (or coast) cottonwood, green cottonwood, native hibiscus, native rosella, cottonwood hibiscus, kurrajong, sea rosemallow, balibago (Tagalog),malabago (Cebuano - Southern), maribago (Cebuano - Northern),bhendi (Marathi), waru (Indonesian), hau (Hawaiian), fau (Samoan), purau (Tahitian), and vau tree. The specific epithet, ""tiliaceus"", refers to its resemblance to the related "Tilia" species.
Hibiscus acetosella Hibiscus acetosella (cranberry hibiscus or African rosemallow) is an angiosperm of the genus "Hibiscus" or rosemallow. The word "acetosella" is of Latin origin and is derived from an old name for sorrel (Oxalis) which comes from the sour taste experienced when eating the young leaves of the plant. "Hibiscus acetosella" is also known colloquially as false roselle, maroon mallow, red leaved hibiscus, and red shield hibiscus. It is one of the approximately 200–300 species that are seen in sub-tropic and tropic regions. This ornamental is usually found in abandoned fields or open areas, marshes, and forest clearings. Cranberry hibiscus is a member of a perennial group known as hardy hibiscus. In contrast to the tropical hibiscus, hardy hibiscus can tolerate colder conditions, are more vigorous, longer lasting, and have larger flowers. In colder climates, "Hibiscus acetosella" is easily an annual, but is often regarded as a perennial to zone 8–11. During one season, the plant can grow 90 – tall and 75 cm wide as a shrub-subshrub.
Hibiscus calyphyllus The lemonyellow rosemallow ("Hibiscus calyphyllus", syn. "Hibiscus calycinus, Hibiscus chrysantha, Hibiscus chrysanthus, Hibiscus rockii") is a shrub from tropical Africa belonging to the Hibiscus genus. In 1883 this Hibiscus was offered for sale in England under the name "Hibiscus chrysanthus" with Port Natal, Cape Colony (now South Africa), identified as the source. By 1891 the same Hibiscus was identified as "Hibiscus chrysantha" in the United States, a practice which may have continued into the 1930s and contributed to incorrect species identification. In 1892 the name "Hibiscus calycinus" was designated as the correct name for the species; but, by 1894 the currently accepted name "Hibiscus calyphyllus" is found in association with "Hibiscus calycinus". At the beginning of the 20th century, this Hibiscus was sold as seeds in the United States under the name "Hibiscus Giant Yellow". Because of the similarity of the flowers, it is quite common to find Abelmoschus manihot confused with "Hibiscus calyphyllus" in the early 20th century gardening literature of the United States, particularly in the area of cold tolerance. If the species identification is correct, the 1903 report in The Flower Garden states that: ""Giant Yellow is a beautiful canary yellow with crimson throat, hardy as far north as St. Louis, but safer in the cellar above that latitude"", then "Hibiscus calyphyllus" may have some degree of cold tolerance. St. Louis, Missouri is in USDA Zone 6a but there are currently no reports of "Hibiscus calyphyllus" overwintering in USDA Zone 6a; it is known to overwinter successfully in USDA Zone 8a.
Cyrtandra (plant) Cyrtandra is a genus of flowering plants containing about 600 species, with more being discovered often, and is thus the largest genus in the family Gesneriaceae. These plants are native to Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, with the centre of diversity in Southeast Asia and the Malesian region. The genus is common, but many species within it are very rare, localized, endangered endemic plants. The species can be difficult to identify because they are highly polymorphic and because they readily hybridize with each other. The plants may be small herbs, vines, shrubs, epiphytes, or trees. The genus is characterized in part by having two stamens, and most species have white flowers, with a few red-, orange-, yellow- and pink-flowered species known. Almost all species live in rainforest habitats.
Reseda alba Reseda alba is a species of flowering plant in the reseda family known by the common names white mignonette or white upright mignonette. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and it can be found in parts of the Americas and Australia as an introduced species. It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant for its spikelike racemes of fragrant white flowers. This is an annual or perennial herb growing up to a meter tall. The leaves are divided deeply into many narrow lobes. The inflorescence, which may take up most of the upper stem, is densely packed with many white flowers. Each flower has five or six petals, each of which is divided into three long, narrow lobes, making the raceme appear frilly. The fruit is a nearly rectangular four-angled capsule up to 1.4 centimeters in length.
Hibiscus insularis The Philip Island Hibiscus (Hibiscus insularis) is a species of hibiscus that is endemic to Phillip Island, a small island to the south of Norfolk Island. The entire natural extent of this species is just two small clumps, and each clump apparently consists of multiple separate stems of a single genotype. It has been propagated and planted more widely on Phillip Island, but only vegetatively which does not increase the genetic diversity. Seedlings apparently have not been observed in the wild. It produces greenish-yellow flowers that fade to mauve through most of the year. Horticultural use of the Philip Island Hibiscus has greatly increased the number of plants (though not in its natural environment) but as it is usually propagated by cuttings the number of genotypes is still extremely small. This species is listed as Critically Endangered under Australian federal environment legislation.
Hibiscus lasiocarpos Hibiscus lasiocarpos (also, "H. lasiocarpus" "orth. var.") is a species of hibiscus known by the common name hairy-fruited hibiscus. It is also one of several hibiscus called rosemallow. It is native to much of the southeastern United States, as well as parts of California and northern Mexico. It is a large, bushy perennial herb with sprawling stems reaching one to two meters long. The leaves are heart-shaped, toothed, and pointed, and generally between 6 and 10 centimeters long. The inflorescence holds large showy, solitary flowers. Each flower has a cup of partly fused sepals beneath a layer of slender bracts. These may be covered in hairs or woolly fibers. The flower's large petals may be up to 10 centimeters long and are generally bright white with red bases. The stamen tube and anthers are white or cream. The fruit is a capsule 2.5–3 centimeters long containing spherical seeds.
Hawaiian hibiscus Hawaiian hibiscus are seven species of hibiscus regarded as native to Hawaii. The yellow hibiscus is Hawaii's state flower. Although tourists regularly associate the hibiscus flower within experiences visiting the US state of Hawaii, and the plant family Malvaceae includes a relatively large number of species that are native to the Hawaiian Islands, those flowers regularly observed by tourists are generally not the native hibiscus flowers. Most commonly grown as ornamental plants in the Islands are the Chinese hibiscus ("Hibiscus rosa-sinensis") and its numerous hybrids.
Hibiscus waimeae Hibiscus waimeae (white Kauai rosemallow, Hawaiian: "" , or ) is a species of flowering plant in the okra family, Malvaceae, that is endemic to the island of Kauaʻ i in Hawaii. It is a small gray-barked tree, reaching a height of 6 - and a trunk diameter of 0.3 m . The flowers last for a single day, starting out white and fading to pink in the afternoon. "H. arnottianus" of Oʻ ahu and Molokaʻ i and "H. waimeae" are the only Hawaiian hibiscuses that have white flowers. "H. waimeae" inhabits coastal mesic, mixed mesic, and wet forests at elevations of 250 – .
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, known colloquially as Chinese hibiscus, China rose, Hawaiian hibiscus, and shoeblackplant, is a species of tropical hibiscus, a flowering plant in the Hibisceae tribe of the family Malvaceae, native to East Asia.

Israel Potter Israel Potter: His Fifty Years of Exile is the eighth book by American writer Herman Melville, first published in serial form in "Putnam's Monthly" magazine between July 1854 and March 1855, and in book form by G. P. Putnam & Co. in March 1855. A pirated edition was also published in London by George Routledge in May 1855. The book is loosely based on a pamphlet (108-page) autobiography that Melville acquired in the 1840s, "Life and Remarkable Adventures of Israel R. Potter" (Providence, Rhode Island, 1824).
Hershel Parker Hershel Parker is an American professor of English and literature, noted for his research into the works of Herman Melville. Parker is the H. Fletcher Brown Professor Emeritus at the University of Delaware. He is co-editor with Harrison Hayford of the Norton Critical Edition of Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick" (1967, 2001, and 2017), and the General Editor of the Northwestern-Newberry Edition of "The Writings of Herman Melville", which, with the publication of volume 13, ""Billy Budd, Sailor"" "and Other Uncompleted Writings", is now (2017) complete in fifteen-volumes. Parker is also the author of a two-volume biography of Herman Melville published by Johns Hopkins University Press (1996, 2002).
Typee Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life is the first book by American writer Herman Melville, published first in London, then New York, in 1846. Considered a classic in travel and adventure literature, the narrative is partly based on the author's actual experiences on the island Nuku Hiva in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands in 1842, liberally supplemented with imaginative reconstruction and adaptation of material from other books. The title is from the province Tai Pi Vai. "Typee" was Melville's most popular work during his lifetime; it made him notorious as the "man who lived among the cannibals".
Moby-Dick Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is a novel by American writer Herman Melville, published in 1851 during the period of the American Renaissance. Sailor Ishmael tells the story of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler "Pequod", for revenge on Moby Dick, the white whale that on the previous whaling voyage bit off Ahab's leg at the knee. The novel was a commercial failure and out of print at the time of the author's death in 1891, but during the 20th century, its reputation as a Great American Novel was established. William Faulkner confessed he wished he had written it himself, and D. H. Lawrence called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world", and "the greatest book of the sea ever written". "Call me Ishmael" is among world literature's most famous opening sentences.
The Confidence-Man The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade is the ninth book and final novel by American writer Herman Melville, first published in New York in 1857. The book was published on April 1, the exact day of the novel's setting. "The Confidence-Man" portrays a "Canterbury Tales"–style group of steamboat passengers whose interlocking stories are told as they travel down the Mississippi River toward New Orleans. Scholar Robert Milder notes: "Long mistaken for a flawed novel, the book is now admired as a masterpiece of irony and control, though it continues to resist interpretive consensus." After the novel's publication, Melville turned from professional writing and became a professional lecturer, mainly addressing his worldwide travels, and later for nineteen years a federal government employee.
Pierre; or, The Ambiguities Pierre; or, The Ambiguities is a novel, the seventh book, by American writer Herman Melville, first published in New York in 1852. The plot, which uses many conventions of Gothic fiction, develops the psychological, sexual, and family tensions between Pierre Glendinning; his widowed mother; Glendinning Stanley, his cousin; Lucy Tartan, his fiancee; and Isabel Banford, who is revealed to be his half-sister. According to scholar Henry A. Murray, in writing "Pierre" Melville "purposed to write his spiritual autobiography in the form of a novel" rather than to experiment with the novel and incidentally working some personal experiences into it.
Redburn Redburn: His First Voyage is the fourth book by the American writer Herman Melville, first published in London in 1849. The book is semi-autobiographical and recounts the adventures of a refined youth among coarse and brutal sailors and the seedier areas of Liverpool. Melville wrote "Redburn" in less than ten weeks. While one scholar describes it as "arguably his funniest work," scholar F.O. Matthiessen calls it "the most moving of its author's books before "Moby-Dick"".
Billy Budd Billy Budd, Sailor is the final novel by American writer Herman Melville, first published posthumously in London in 1924 as edited by Raymond M. Weaver, a professor at Columbia University. Other versions were later published. Melville had begun writing the original work in November 1888, but left it unfinished at his death in 1891. Acclaimed by British critics as a masterpiece when published in London, it quickly took its place as a classic literary work in the United States.
Clarel Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land (1876) is an epic poem by American writer Herman Melville, originally published in two volumes. "Clarel" is the longest poem in American literature, stretching to almost 18,000 lines (longer even than European classics such as the "Iliad", "Aeneid" and "Paradise Lost"). As well as for its great length, "Clarel" is notable for being the major work of Melville's later years.
Marvel Classics Comics Marvel Classics Comics was an American comics magazine which ran from 1976 until 1978. It specialized in adaptations of literary classics such as "Moby-Dick", "The Three Musketeers", and "The Iliad". It was Marvel Comics' attempt to pick up the mantle of "Classics Illustrated", which stopped publishing in 1971. 36 issues of "Marvel Classics Comics" were published, 12 of them being reprints of another publisher's work.
Land speed record The land speed record (or absolute land speed record) is the highest speed achieved by a person using a vehicle on land. There is no single body for validation and regulation; in practice the Category C ("Special Vehicles") flying start regulations are used, officiated by regional or national organizations under the auspices of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. The land speed record (LSR) is standardized as the speed over a course of fixed length, averaged over two runs (commonly called "passes"). Two runs are required in opposite directions within one hour, and a new record mark must exceed the previous one by at least one percent to be validated.
Budweiser Rocket The Budweiser Rocket was an American 3-wheeled land vehicle, generally resembling the 1970-era "Blue Flame" land speed record holding vehicle in appearance, powered by a hybrid liquid and solid-fuel rocket engine with an extra booster from a Sidewinder missile, that has been claimed as being the first vehicle to have broken the sound barrier on land. The original forerunner to the vehicle was the "SMI Motivator" which was damaged badly enough to require a replacement, which in time was called the "Budweiser Rocket".
Ernest Eldridge Ernest Arthur Douglas Eldridge (18 July 1897 – 27 October 1937) was a British racing car driver who broke the world land speed record in 1924. His was the last land speed record set on an open road.
Bluebird Mach 1.1 Bluebird Mach 1.1 (CMN-8) was a design for a rocket-powered supersonic land speed record car, planned by Donald Campbell but thwarted by his subsequent death during a water speed record attempt in "Bluebird K7" in early 1967.
Henry Segrave Sir Henry O'Neil de Hane Segrave (22 September 1896 – 13 June 1930) was an early British pioneer in land speed and water speed records. Seagrave, who set three land and one water record, was the first person to hold both titles simultaneously and the first person to travel at over 200 mph in a land vehicle. He died in an accident in 1930 shortly after setting a new world water speed record on Windermere in the Lake District, England. The Segrave Trophy was established to commemorate his life.
Bloodhound SSC Bloodhound SSC is a British supersonic land vehicle currently in development. Its goal is to match or exceed 1000 mph achieving a new world land speed record. The pencil-shaped car, powered by a jet engine and a rocket engine is designed to reach 1050 mph . It is being developed and built with the intention of breaking the land speed record by 33%, the largest ever margin.
Stan Barrett Stan Barrett (born June 26, 1943) is a Hollywood stuntman, stunt coordinator and actor. His biggest act was however outside the movie world. On December 17, 1979, he attempted to break the Land Speed Record, and the sound barrier in the Budweiser Rocket rocket-powered three-wheel vehicle. His calculated speed was 739.666 miles per hour, (Mach 1.01), which would have made Barrett the first man to break the sound barrier in a land vehicle. The attempt was surrounded by controversy and the speed was never officially recorded. Barrett also raced in 19 Winston Cup Series races between 1980 and 1990, posting two top ten finishes.
Bluebird-Proteus CN7 The Bluebird-Proteus CN7 is a gas turbine-powered vehicle that was driven by Donald Campbell and achieved the world land speed record on Lake Eyre in Australia on 17 July 1964. The vehicle set the FIA world record for the flying mile at 403.10 mph .
Art Arfons Arthur Eugene "Art" Arfons (February 3, 1926 – December 3, 2007) was the world land speed record holder three times from 1964 to 1965 with his "Green Monster" series of jet-powered cars, after a series of "Green Monster" piston-engine and jet-engined dragsters. He subsequently went on to field a succession of "Green Monster" turbine-engined pulling tractors, before returning to land speed record racing. He was announced as a 2008 inductee in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame three days after his death.
Golden Arrow (car) Golden Arrow was a land speed record racer built in Britain to regain the world land speed record from USA. Henry Segrave drove the car at Daytona Beach and exceeded the previous record by 24 mph or 39 km/h.
