Description
Marsh Mallow grows in salt marshes, in damp meadows, by the sides of ditches, by the sea and on the banks of tidal rivers. Marsh Mallow contains starch, mucilage, pectin, oil, sugar, asparagin, phosphate of lime, glutinous matter and cellulose. The root was formerly used to make marshmallows.
Besides the medicinal virtues of so many mallows species, some are employed as food; the bark of others affords a substitute for hemp; cotton is obtained from the seed vessels of yet other species, and many ornamental garden flowers are also members of this group such as Hibiscus and Hollyhock.
