The globemallows (or globe mallows) are members of the genus Sphaeralcea in the mallow family (Malvaceae). There are about 40-60 species, including annuals, perennials, and shrubs. Most originate in the drier regions of North America, with some known from South America. Another often-used common name is falsemallows.

The leaves of these plants are spirally arranged, and usually palmate or toothed. Both stems and leaves are downy. Like other Malvaceae, the flowers are saucer- or cup-shaped, with the stamens joined into a column in the center.


Read about Sphaeralcea in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Sphaeralcea (Greek for globe, and Alcea, the generic name of the marsh mallow). Malvaceae. Globe Mallow. Shrubs, subshrubs, or herbs, adapted to the warmhouse or outdoors in the far South.

Leaves frequently angled or lobed: fls. short-pedicelled, solitary, or arranged in axillary fascicles or in terminal racemes or spikes, violet or flesh-colored, rarely long-peduncled or red; bracteoles 3, free or united at base; calyx 5-cleft; staminal column divided at the top into many filaments; ovary many-celled: fr. sub-globose, of many compressed, 2-valved, dehiscing, 2-3-seeded carpels, united in a ring around a central torus, from which they slowly separate.—About 65 species, 4 or 5 of which are S. African, the remainder from the warmer regions of N. and S. Amer. Several species have been mentioned in horticultural literature and occur occasionally in cult. One species has been intro. into Calif. Closely allied to Abutilon but with 3 bractlets instead of none. CH
