Goosefoot Mallow
GOOSEBERRYLEAF GLOBEMALLOW
Sphaeralcea grossulariifolia

The Gooseberryleaf Globemallow gets its name from the shape of its leaves - which are three-lobed blades with toothed or lobed edges that are shaped like those of plants in the family Grossulariaceae, the currants and gooseberries. Due to its relatively large taproot and vigorous root system, this species is very drought tolerant once well established.
