Hi All,

I'm hoping one of you 'down under' might recognize this tree thus help me identify it. It's been suggested to me that it's a type of Hibiscus - likely a Hau Tree or Sea Hibiscus and while I agree, I've not been able to pin this particular variety (if it's a Hibiscus) down.

Any help much appreciated.

Here is a link that might be useful: Mystery Tree

Hi Holly
I just had a look through my books, it definately looks like the variegated form of Hibiscus tilliaceus (Botanica). Botanica says that it "grows to a height and spread of 30 ft(9m)". I love your photos.
