Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of hibiscus plant named ‘DUP-CMIP’, characterized by compact growth with internode distance reduced with respect to standard exotic varieties, glossy, dark green leaves of reduced size relative to standard exotic varieties, strongly upright growth, and a large flower characterized by a medium-sized dark red eye zone which extends about one quarter of the petal length, margined against a zone of brownish-pink which grades into a pinkish brown zone which grades into a brilliant orange-red zone which abruptly bleeds into a brilliant yellow rim extending to the petal margin. For some periods of the year, particularly in the warmer months, the orange-red zone can bear brilliant yellow spots which are mostly concentrated toward the outer edge of the orange-red zone. The spots may be fine, or they may be large. They may merge together radially to form radial splashes, particularly along the radial venation of the bloom.
