Hibiscus syriacus is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is native to Korea, and south-central and southeast China, but widely introduced elsewhere, including much of Asia. It was given the epithet syriacus because it had been collected from gardens in Syria. Common names include the rose of Sharon, especially in North America, Syrian ketmia, shrub althea and rose mallow in the United Kingdom. It is the national flower of South Korea and is mentioned in the South Korean national anthem.
