ORANGE-EYE GLOBEMALLOW 



Sphaeralcea davidsonii Robinson 



The striking combination of color in the flowers of the orange- 

 eye globemallow is their greatest charm. The center is a brilliant 

 vermilion, and the cupped petals surrounding it are a beautiful soft 

 pink. The grouping of the stamens in a sort of column is a feature 

 which characterizes most members of the Mallow Family. 



Orange-eye globemallow is found only in southern California. 



The plant sketched grew at the Santa Ana Ranch, near Santa 

 Ana, California.
