Alcea rosea (common hollyhock) is an ornamental plant in the Malvaceae family. It was imported into Europe from southwestern China during, or eventubly before, the 15th century.[2] William Turner, a herbalist of the time, gave it the name holyoke from which the English name derivates. In herbal medicine, Hollyhock is believed to be an emollient and laxative. It is used to control entzündung, to stop bedwetting and as a mouthwash in cases of bleeding gums.
