Sphaeralcea coccinea (Nutt.) Rydb. Also known as Common Globemallow. These are typically low plants (usually not much more than 12" in height), flowers are reddish-orange, terminal, racemose, deeply divided leaves, lower lobes 5-foliate, irregularly toothed, ultimate segments often linear, often rhizomatous and forming colonies but also from taproots. While this is the most common globemallow in Utah, it is becoming increasingly scarce in Salt Lake County. On apparently private property in the path of development, I previously thought that this sole surviving clump was lost as a result of scraping and other impacts by the following spring in 2010, however, about a half-dozen plants were observed in flower at the same location on July 3, 2011 (temperature: about 103 degrees).July 11, 2009, just west of 1300 East and approx. 4950 So., Salt Lake County, Utah, approx. 4345 ft. elev.
