| Napaea dioica | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This mallow species produces attractive white flowers in June and July (NatureServe Explorer 2002) and is cultivated for ornamental purposes by a number of nurseries. After the last glaciation, N. dioica expanded its range via riparian corridors (Botany2001 website 2002). Its range has become extremely limited as its habitat is ideal for farming and so has been plowed throughout most of its historic range (NatureServe Explorer 2002). As populations have become more fragmented and isolated from each other, riparian corridors have again become increasingly important in maintaining gene flow in this population (Botany2001 website 2002).
