The Maconellicoccus hirsutus, (also known as the pink, grape or hibiscus mealybug) is a pest of many plants, trees, and shrubs.
 It infests hibiscus, citrus, coffee, sugar cane, annonas, plums, guava, mango (although, mango mealybug is more problematic), okra, sorrel, teak, mora, pigeon pea, peanut, grapevine, maize, asparagus, chrysanthemum, beans, cotton, soybean, cocoa, and many other plants.
 The pest forms colonies on the host plant, and if left undisturbed, the colonies will grow into large masses of white waxy coverings on branches, fruiting structures, leaves, and even whole plants, including large trees.
The Philip Island Hibiscus (Hibiscus insularis) is a species of hibiscus that is endemic to Phillip Island, a small island to the south of Norfolk Island.
 The entire natural extent of this species is just two small clumps, and each clump apparently consists of multiple separate stems of a single genotype.
 It has been propagated and planted more widely on Phillip Island, but only vegetatively which does not increase the genetic diversity.
 Seedlings apparently have not been observed in the wild.
 It produces greenish-yellow flowers that fade to mauve through most of the year.
 Horticultural use of the Philip Island Hibiscus has greatly increased the number of plants (though not in its natural environment) but as it is usually propagated by cuttings the number of genotypes is still extremely small.
 This species is listed as Critically Endangered under Australian federal environment legislation.
Hibiscus ( or ) is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae.
 The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world.
 Member species are renowned for their large, showy flowers and are commonly known simply as hibiscus, or less widely known as rose mallow.
 The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees.
 The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἱβίσκος ("hibískos"), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides ( 40–90) gave to "Althaea officinalis".
Machilus is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Lauraceae.
 It is found in temperate, subtropical, and tropical forest, occurring in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Borneo, and the Philippines.
 It is sometimes included in the genus "Persea", and currently includes about 100 species.
Malvaviscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae.
 Common names for species in this genus include Turk's cap mallow, wax mallow, sleeping hibiscus, and mazapan.
 It belongs to a group of genera that differ from the closely related "Hibiscus" in possessing a fruit divided into 5 separate parts (a schizocarp), and having a style surmounted by 10, rather than 5, capitate or capitellate stigmas.
 Among those genera "Malvaviscus" is distinguished by having auriculate petals and red, fleshy fruits.
Persea is a genus of about 150 species of evergreen trees belonging to the laurel family, Lauraceae.
 The best-known member of the genus is the avocado, "P. americana", widely cultivated in subtropical regions for its large, edible fruit.
The National Emblem of the Republic of Korea (Hangul: 대한민국의 국장 / Hanja: 大韓民國의 國章 ) consists of the "taeguk" symbol present on the country's national flag surrounded by five stylized petals and a ribbon bearing the inscription "The Republic of Korea" ("Daehan Minguk"), the official name of the country, in Hangul characters.
 The Taegeuk represents peace and harmony.
 The five petals all have meaning and are related to Korea's national flower, the "Hibiscus syriacus", or Rose of Sharon ("mugunghwa" (무궁화/無窮花 ).
 The emblem was adopted in 1963.
Talipariti is a genus of plants in the mallow family Malvaceae.
 It consists of 22 species, which are exclusively tropical except for one species whose range extends into temperate areas of Japan and Korea.
 Some authors treat these species as part of the genus "Hibiscus", in which case they form the section "Hibiscus" sect.
 "Azanza".
Hibiscus syriacus is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to India and much of Asia (though not, as Linnaeus thought, Syria, as evidenced by the name he gave it).
 Common names include rose of Sharon (especially in North America), Syrian ketmia or rose mallow (United Kingdom), St Joseph's rod (Italy) and Rosa de Sharon (Brazil).
Hawaiian hibiscus are seven species of hibiscus regarded as native to Hawaii.
 The yellow hibiscus is Hawaii's state flower.
 Although tourists regularly associate the hibiscus flower within experiences visiting the US state of Hawaii, and the plant family Malvaceae includes a relatively large number of species that are native to the Hawaiian Islands, those flowers regularly observed by tourists are generally not the native hibiscus flowers.
 Most commonly grown as ornamental plants in the Islands are the Chinese hibiscus ("Hibiscus rosa-sinensis") and its numerous hybrids.

Question: Does Persea and Hibiscus syriacus both refer to plants?
Answer: yes
