Pentapetes is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. It contains a single species, Pentapetes phoenicea. The plant is commonly known as noon flower, midday flower or scarlet mallow and occasionally cultivated. This is so named as the flowers open around noon, and closes around next day early morning.
