Abstract
Hibiscus section Furcaria includes more than 60 known taxa. The sectio n has a mainly tropical distribution, but a few species penetrate subt ropical and temperate regions. Seven taxa are recognized that occur in the islands of the Pacific Basin, five of which are endemic. Hibiscus fijiensis is described and a new combination, Hibiscus brackenridgei subsp. molokaianus, is proposed.
