Malvásis

Malvásis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. The genus was first described in 1998. Plants in the Malvásis genus are typically herbs or subshrubs. They are found in tropical and subtropical regions, primarily in Africa and Asia. The flowers of Malvásis species are usually showy, with petals that can range in color from white to pink to purple. The fruits are typically capsules.

There are a number of species within the Malvásis genus, though its taxonomic classification is still under investigation and may be subject to revision. Further research is ongoing to fully understand the genetic relationships and distinct characteristics of these plants. Their distribution within tropical and subtropical zones suggests adaptations to warm climates with varying rainfall patterns.

The economic and ecological significance of Malvásis is not extensively documented, but like other members of the Malvaceae family, some species may have traditional uses or play a role in their native ecosystems. The Malvaceae family is known for its diversity, including well-known plants like cotton and okra. Malvásis contributes to this botanical diversity.
