Botanical names and group identity
The notched petals and axillary flower clusters help identify the mallow form. Flora of North America includes Malva mauritiana in its synonym treatment. Life span can vary, so the species should not be given one universal annual or perennial cycle.
Veined petals and the mauritiana name
mauritiana, Zebrina and Purple are distinct named references for reseller assortments. Preserve the selection name alongside the species rather than transferring the exact markings of one garden strain to another.
