What does MALLOWS stand for? 

Mallows(n.s.)

The mallow has a fibrous root; the leaves are round or angular: the flower consists of one leaf, is of the expanded bell-shaped kind, and cut into five segments almost to the bottom: from the centre rises a pyramidal tube, for the most part loaded with many small threads or filaments: from the centre of the flower-cup rises the pointal in the tube, which becomes the fruit, and this is flat, round, and sometimes pointed, wrapt, for the most part, within the flower-cup, and divided into several cells so disposed round the axle, that each little lodge appears most artificially jointed within the corresponding striæ or channels: the seed is often shaped like a kidney: the species are six, of which the first is found wild, and used in medicine.
