Is the althaea officinalis a living being, and does it have the properties which Pedanius Dioscorides and Galen ascribe to it?

Althaea officinalis (marshmallow, marsh mallow, or common marshmallow) is a species indigenous to Africa, which is used as a medicinal plant and ornamental plant.

The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἱβίσκος (hibískos), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40-90) gave to Althaea officinalis.

Pyridine is not abundant in nature, except for the leaves and roots of belladonna (Atropa belladonna) and in marshmallow (Althaea officinalis).

Marshmallow probably came first into being as a medicinal substance, since the mucilaginous extracts come from the root of the marshmallow plant, Althaea officinalis, which were used as a remedy for sore throats.

Traditionally marshmallows were made from the extract of the mucilaginous root of the marshmallow plant (Althaea officinalis); due to the demulcent nature of the extract, it served as a cough suppressant.

The fleshy white tapered root of the perennial herb marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) was the original source of the thick paste used to make those squishy treats; they are now usually made of such ingredients as sugar, starch, corn syrup and gelatin.

In 1931 Maud Grieve wrote that the "use of this species of Mallow has been much superseded by Marsh Mallow (Althaea officinalis), which possesses its valuable properties in a superior degree, but it is still a favourite remedy with country people where Marsh Mallow is not obtainable."

It also includes the common rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos), which isn't so common to me.

Rose Mallow may refer to:

Here and there, the flossy floral mass is punctuated by tall, saucer-sized red blossoms on rose mallow.

Lavatera - Tree mallow or rose mallow

It is also known as brilliant hibiscus, scarlet hibiscus and scarlet rose mallow.

She recognized many of the flowering plants-turtleheads, the great blooms of rose mallow, and sprays of Joe-pye weed.

Member species are often noted for their showy flowers and are commonly known simply as hibiscus, or less widely known as rose mallow.

Hibiscus vitifolius-Tropical Rose Mallow

Some of the indigenous flora include Rose Mallow, Soft Rush, and Bladder Sedge.

Radyera farragei - Desert Rose Mallow, Bush Hibiscus

There apparently is no fan club for hardy hibiscus (H. moscheutos, commonly called rose mallow), and gardeners of very polished tastes tend to think it crude.

Hibiscus coccineus or scarlet rose mallow, is a hardy Hibiscus species that looks much like Cannabis sativa (marijuana).

Lavatera trimestris (common names annual mallow, rose mallow, royal mallow, regal mallow)

Hibiscus moscheutos (Swamp-rose Mallow or Rose mallow) is a cold-hardy perennial wetland plant that can grow in large colonies.

Lavatera species are known as tree mallows, or rather ambiguously as rose mallows, royal mallows or annual mallows.

Remember the size of your garden, remember the plants you already have, remember (when picturing a whole swampful of rose mallows and ligularia) that you have no swamp!

"THE SWALE," a family nature walk, led by an instructor, through the New York Botanical Garden's swale to learn about such plants as swamp rose mallow and joe-pye weed, and grasses, sedges and rushes.

It has sunny wildflower gardens and shady counterparts; it has wetland wildflower gardens and arid versions, which demonstrate that the moisture-demanding rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos) doesn't mix happily with the moisture-averse butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa).

Dr. Allison A. Snow of Ohio State University and Dr. Timothy P. Spira of Georgia Southern University studied the wild rose mallow to find out what happens when much more pollen is deposited on its flowers than there are eggs to be fertilized.
