Description
Althaea is a genus of 6–12 species of perennial herbs native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia. It includes Althaea officinalis, also known as the marshmallow plant, whence the fluffy confection got its name. They are found on the banks of rivers and in salt marshes, preferring moist, sandy soils. The stems grow to 1–2 m tall, and flower in mid summer. The leaves are palmately lobed with 3–7 lobes. Althaea species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Bucculatrix quadrigemina. (Wikipedia)
Thank you for your visit and comment, good day to you
Althéa ou Hibiscus syriacus est une espèce d'arbustes du genre Hibiscus et de la famille des Malvacées, originaire des régions tempérées d'Extrême-Orient, très largement cultivée comme plante ornementale dans les jardins.
Les genres Hibiscus et Althaea sont très proches, d'où la confusion fréquente et le nom vernaculaire Althéa souvent donné à cette espèce. Il est aussi appelé Hibiscus commun des jardins, Guimauve en arbre, Mauve en arbre, Ketmie des jardins, Mugunghwa en Corée (ou Rose of Althea ou Rose of Sharon en anglais). (Wikipedia)
