It is native to the southern coast of South Africa, and produces bright yellow flowers, which bloom and die over the course of a single day. It is drought-resistant and can survive low temperatures, despite mainly growing in the subtropics. Its flowers are also attractive to multiple pollinators.

Description

Pavonia praemorsa is a species of flowering shrub in the mallow family;[3] it is commonly referred to as yellow mallow,[4] and sometimes as yellow pavonia, shell flower,[5] and butter bits.[6] Its epithet, praemorsa, originates from a Latin word meaning "appearing to have been bitten off", in reference to the shape of its leaves' tips. It is categorized as a least-concern species according to the Red List of South African Plants.[4]

P. praemorsa's flower and leaves

The species is a perennial evergreen;[5] it can grow to be about two meters tall and two meters wide.[6][7] Its flower has bright yellow petals with reddish veins and a yellow stamen. They resemble hibiscuses, despite belonging to a separate genus. Over the course of a single day, they bloom, shut and die, and fall to the ground; generally, the flowers begin to fall by late afternoon.[4][7] It flowers year-round, with its peak blooming seasons being spring and autumn. The plant has a tough, thin stem, leathery leaves, and a capsular fruit.[4][7] Its flower is attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.[5]

Pavonia praemorsa is native to South Africa. It is generally found in the Cape Province,[3] especially in the Eastern Cape, near the country's southern shore on the Indian Ocean.[4][8] It mainly grows in the subtropics,[3] although it is able to withstand temperatures as low as −9.4 °C (15.1 °F).[5] The species is also drought-resistant.[4] Besides its natural growth, the plant is cultivated for hedging and for its flower.[5]
