About Sphaeralcea angustifolia (Cav.) G.Don
Sphaeralcea angustifolia is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family, commonly known as copper globemallow and narrow-leaved globemallow. It is native to the southwestern United States and northern and central Mexico, where it grows in desert and plateau habitats. The plant produces many erect stems, reaching a maximum height of nearly three meters. Its overall texture is woolly or felt-like. The leaf blades are gray-green, lance-shaped, and grow up to about 5 centimeters long, with wavy or slightly lobed edges. The leafy inflorescence holds several flowers; each flower has five wedge-shaped orange petals just under 1 centimeter in length, and yellow anthers.
