Species of Wild hollyhocks
Streambank wild hollyhock
The streambank wild hollyhock (Iliamna rivularis) grows at higher altitudes on forested slopes, alongside streams, and in disturbed areas. It favors moist but well-drained soil. Growing to a height of 91 to 183 cm., it bears tall spikes of white, pink or purple flowers which attract bees, butterflies, and birds. Its brown berries can be toxic to children.
Kankakee mallow
In the wild, kankakee mallow (Iliamna remota) is only found near the Kanakee River in Kanakee County, Illinois in the U.S. This means it has one of the narrowest original distribution ranges of any plant on the planet. And today, even in the Kanakee River region, it's rare enough to earn a place on the endangered species list.
