Species of flowering plant

Abutilon pictum, syn. Abutilon striatum (disputed), is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is native to southern Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The plant has become naturalised in Central America, and is used in horticulture. Common names include redvein abutilon, red vein Indian mallow, redvein flowering maple, Chinese lantern and red vein Chinese lanterns.

Abutilon pictum is a shrub growing to tall by wide. The leaves are 5–15 cm long, three to five (rarely seven ) lobed. The yellow to orange red bell shaped flowers have prominent dark red veining, with five petals 2–4 cm long. It blooms from April to September, and longer in warmer subtropical areas. The flowers attract pollinators, such as native bees and hummingbirds.

The flowers are edible, raw or cooked, with the sweet flavor increasing the longer the bloom is open.

Note: both Abutilon pictum and Abutilon striatum are susceptible to Abutilon mosaic virus while A. pictum simply gets crinkly leaves, A. striatum develops a mottled or variegated leaf that is prized, and often sold as a different variety, notably "Gold dust" in Hawaii. 'Mardi Gras' — Mardi Gras abutilon (syn: Abutilon pictum 'Aureomaculatum'); very vigorous form to 10 ft. by 10 ft. but can be kept smaller/espaliered, has large green leaves splashed boldly with gold, narrow light orange flowers. 'Thompsonii' — variegated Thompson's abutilon (syn: Abutilon striatum 'Thompsonii'); speckled yellow and green variegated leaves, orange flowers: this cultivar has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
