Alteita

Alteita is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily in the context of plant life. Most commonly, alteita refers to a species of herbaceous plant belonging to the family Malvaceae. This plant is scientifically known as *Alcea rosea*, and is widely recognized as the common hollyhock. Hollyhocks are known for their tall, upright stalks adorned with showy, often vibrantly colored flowers. They are native to Asia and Europe and have been cultivated for centuries in gardens worldwide for their ornamental value. The flowers can range in color from white and yellow to pink, red, and even deep purple, and appear in the summer months.

In some regions, "alteita" might also be used colloquially to describe other tall, flowering plants with a similar growth habit, though these are not botanically the same species. It is important to consider the local context when encountering the term. The term's usage is largely confined to horticultural and botanical discussions, or in informal gardening contexts. Precise identification usually requires a scientific name or a more detailed description of the plant's characteristics.
