• Wissenschaftler sorgen sich um die Bewahrung einer seltenen Malvenart (Pflanze) auf einer Insel vor Los Angeles.
  

• “Endangered” may sometimes seem like a vague term, but it is an unfortunately suited description for the Island Bush-Mallow (Malacothamnus fasciculatus var. nesioticus). This endangered flower is now only known from four locations in the world, all on Santa Cruz Island, part of the remote and hauntingly gorgeous Channel Islands National Park off the coast of Los Angeles. USGS scientists are helping the National Park Service monitor and jump-start the recovery of this and other native plant species, and restore the balance of these island ecosystems after decades of human use.
  

• Malacothamnus fasciculatus, with the common name chaparral mallow, is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family. It is found in far western North America.
