Cravenia panduriformis (synonym Hibiscus panduriformis), the yellow hibiscus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to much of Tropical Africa, Madagascar, Yemen, the Indian Subcontinent, Myanmar, Sulawesi, and northern Australia.[1][2] An erect shrub reaching 2.5 m (8 ft), it is a minor weed of cotton.[3]

The species was first described as Hibiscus panduriformis by Nicolaas Laurens Burman in 1768. In 2024 Todd G.B. McLay and Russell Lindsay Barrett placed the species in the genus Cravenia as C. panduriformis.[1]
