Althaea officinalis Linn. Malvaceae. MARSHMALLOW. WHITE MALLOW. The plant is found wild in Europe and Asia and is naturalized in places in America. It is cultivated extensively in Europe for medicinal purposes, acting as a demulcent. In 812, Charlemagne [1] enjoined its culture in France. Johnson [2] says its leaves may be eaten when boiled.
La guimauve est utilisée comme pectorale, béchique et émolliente pour les cas de maladies de la poitrine et de la vessie (DUCROS, 1930).
