Abstract
A consideration of the naming of Hibiscus patersonius (Malvaceae) and similar names leads to the conclusion that such adjectival forms in specific epithets are in accordance with Classical Latin and that their “correction” to other adjectival forms or the genitive form of nouns is disruptive in botanical Latin.
