Thespesia grandiflora, most commonly known as Maga, and also referred to as Maga Colorada ("Red Maga") and Puerto Rican hibiscus,[2] is a tree in the family Malvaceae of the rosids clade[2] endemic to Puerto Rico, where its flower is officially recognized as the national flower of the archipelago.
[3][4][5][6] Although originally native to the humid mountains of limestone in the western and north-central portions of Puerto Rico, today it grows everywhere in the archipelago due to its extensive cultivation.
[7] It is also grown as an ornamental tree in Florida, Hawaii, Honduras and various Caribbean islands.
[7] The maga is mostly used as an ornamental plant, but like the related Thespesia populnea its wood is also valued for its durable timber.
