Abutilon pictum — syn. Abutilon striatum,(disputed)[1] and commonly known as redvein abutilon, red vein Indian mallow, redvein flowering maple, Chinese-lantern[2] or red vein Chinese lanterns, is a species of Abutilon in the family Malvaceae.[3] It is native to southern Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The plant has become naturalised in Central America, and common in horticulture.

The plant can grow in light shade or full sun, and is frost tender. It requires moist soil, growing suitably in fertile sandy, loamy, or well-drained clay soils.[4][5]

- ‘Mardi Gras’ — Mardi Gras abutilion (syn: Abutilon pictum ‘Aureomaculatum’); very vigorous form to 10 ft. by 10 ft. but can be kept smaller/espaliered, has large green leaves splashed boldly with gold, narrow light orange flowers.[7]
