Sphaeralcea ambigua, commonly known as Desert Globemallow, is a species of flowering plant in the Malvaceae family. Native to arid regions of western North America, including deserts and dry grasslands, it is a herbaceous perennial with a woody base. The species is characterized by its globe-shaped clusters of orange to apricot-colored flowers, which bloom from spring to summer. Desert Globemallow exhibits adaptations to arid environments, such as deep taproots and drought tolerance, enabling it to thrive in harsh conditions.
