Set me straight!

I am very confused as to the difference between Hibiscus Cannabinus and H. Radiatus. I've seen pictures of both plants and they look alike, but when I did some research, it said that the Cannabinus, also called Kenaf, had a pale yellow flower with a maroon eye.The Radiatus was called October Rose, Ruby Hibiscus,Rose Mallow Hibiscus and had the deep burgundy flower.To confuse me even more, one web site called the Cannabinus, October Rose and Ruby Hibiscus!

Mine has the "marijuana" leaves, burgundy flowers, and the seed pods with little stickers on them. Would one of you Hibiscus experts set me straight?

    I think that by now everyone is getting tired of seeing this question, so I'm just going to get it moving down.
