Malope (name used by Pliny for some kind of mallow). Malvaceae. Flower-garden annuals. Glabrous or pilose herbs, with entire or 3-parted alternate lvs., and peduncled often showy violet or pink or white axillary fls. subtended by 3 large cordate distinct bracts: calyx 5-parted; column of stamens divided at the top into many filaments: carpels numerous, 1-seeded, congested into a head, indehiscent. About a dozen species have been described, probably reducible to 3, in the Medit. region. They are of simple cult, in any ordinary garden soil; sow early.
