Family: Malvaceae (Mallow)
Distribution: Phillip Island
Regional red list: Critically Endangered
National red list: Critically Endangered
Life form: Evergreen shrub/sub-shrub

The removal of these feral animals has led to the regeneration of the population with seedlings surviving next to the original plants.
