Kosteletzkya pentacarpos (L.)Ledeb.
VIRGINIA SALTMARSH MALLOW
**
Populations in the Americas had been called K. virginica. Now the name K. pentacarpos is used since the American populations seem morphologically indistinguishable from the Eurasian populations (Blanchard 2008). Plants with narrower leaves (< 20 mm wide) with margins entire at the proximal half of the blade and reflexed lobes have been recognized as var. smilacifolia and endemic to peninsular Florida (Alexander et al. 2012), e.g. Jensen OS0563 (USF).
