Abutilon × hybridum is a species name used for a wide variety of different types flowering plants of uncertain origin in the genus Abutilon. [1] [2] [3] Because of the uncertainty surrounding the name, they are often considered a cultivar group: Abutilon x Hybridum Group or Abutilon Hybridum Group. They are cultigens, not occurring in the wild. [4] [5] As with the larger genus Abutilon generally, they have been referred to by the common names Chinese lantern, [6] [7] and parlour maple.

Description
No reliable source has settled the question of parentage for these plants, and they have been variously said to perhaps derive from the species Abutilon theophrasti, [8] A. striatum, [4] A. darwinii, [9] A. pictum, [9] or any of the South American species. [10]
Descriptions vary widely; some sources have described them as short as "1 to 2 ½' tall", while others list them as reaching 15' in height. [8] [11]
