Modiola
Modiola is a monotypic genus of plants in the mallow family containing the single species Modiola caroliniana, which is known by several common names including bristly-fruited mallow,[3] Carolina bristlemallow,[1] babosilla, and redflower mallow. It is a creeping perennial which is probably native to South America but which is widely naturalized throughout the tropical and warmer temperate world. EcologyCarolina bristlemallow is a grassland weed,[4] commonly occurring in gardens and lawns[5] and in moist habitats such as shores of ponds and reserviors.[6] It can propagate vegetatively by rooting at the nodes,[7] and in Australia, seeds have been reported to germinate from the scats of introduced deer but not those of native kangaroos.[8] It has shown resistance to the herbicide clopyralid[9].
