has one native and six introduced species of Malva (mallow)
including one native and one introduced species that
were once included in Lavatera. Most are herbs, and
are common on roadsides, in waste areas and in lawns.
However, M. dendromorpha is a large, erect woody
plant. The leaves are largish (3cm diameter or
more), more or less round in outline and are palmately lobed
or palmately veined. Most have large coloured flowers (2cm
wide or more), but M. parviflora has white or pink
flowers. |
