Malvaceae

Genera 250 Accepted species 5,644 Documented here 873 Coverage 15%

We document 873 of the 5,644 accepted species in Malvaceae. The rest are listed, with their authorities and their identifiers, inside their genus. They have no page of their own because we could not find three openly licensed photographs of them, and a page without evidence is not a page we are willing to publish.
