I am currently having great difficulty finding the right Arabic words
for
the above, which I need despertly for an urgent translation I am doing.
None
of the dictionaries I checked have it. Al-Mawred has Hibiscus as
خبيزة
(khobeizeh) which is wrong. Hibiscus is a tropical flower and Khobeizeh
is
weed like Dandeline.
Any help with the above will be highly appreciated.

Since خبيزة which is used in Al-Mawrid Dictionary does not fit your purpose you might as well use كركدي which is used by some translators for this term.
