The flowering maple belongs to the genus of plants, scientifically known as Abutilon, and the family of mallow, malvaceae. It usually presents small and lobulate leaves, with serrations along their margins and a silky texture. Flowers form in the axils of the leaves. They vary in color and feature markings of strong color in their hearts.
