Abstract
The genus Hoheria belongs to the family Malvaceae, which is an extensive family of herbs, shrubs and trees comprising about 80 genera and 1000 species spread over the tropical and subtropical parts of the world (Salmon, 1992). The genus contains many economically important plants, for example cotton (Gossypium spp.) and Chinese jute (Abutilon avicennae). Three genera, Hibiscus, Hoheria and Plagianthus, occur in New Zealand.
