threelobe false mallow, Malvastrum coromandelianum
Looking up threelobe false mallow took me on a journey to Australia, then Florida, and India, and Texas and beyond. But none of them had much to say about this species beyond its shrubby weediness. The plants themselves started in tropical America, and have journeyed around the world. With us so far they're in AL, FL, HI, LA, MA, NJ, PA, and TX. Monroe Co FL, 1/26/13. Mallow family, Malvaceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
