Malva sylvestris is a species of the mallow genus Malva in the family of Malvaceae and is considered to be the type species for the genus. Known as common mallow to English-speaking Europeans,[3]
it acquired the common names of cheeses, high mallow and tall mallow (mauve des bois by the French)[4]
as it migrated from its native home in Western Europe, North Africa and Asia through the English-speaking world.[5]
M. sylvestris is a vigorous plant with showy flowers of bright mauve-purple, with dark veins, standing 3–4 feet (0.91–1.22 m) high and growing freely in meadows, hedgerows and in fallow fields.[6]
