Title
English: Musk mallow, Malva moschata
Description
English:

A small, delicate looking flower with five heart-shaped petals surrounding a very small center.

Musk mallow (Malva moschata) is a plant that Europeans brought over for their gardens, and these plants eventually escaped to colonize most of the north-east, and there happens to be one plant blooming at Fort Stanwix. There are records that indicate that the natives around the area used musk mallow tea to treat fevers and lassitude (lack of energy). The tea can also help with cough and gastrointestinal irritation, and can also be used to gargle, which helps with inflammation in the mouth and throat. The flowers have a musky smell to them, and that is how the plant got its name!
