Iliamna corei
Also called Core's Wild Hollyhock
Iliamna corei is a rare species of flowering plant in the mallow family known by the common name Peters Mountain mallow. It is endemic to Virginia in the United States, where it is known only from Peters Mountain in Giles County. A single occurrence remains. This is a federally listed endangered species. It is considered "one of the rarest native plants in the United States."
There is one small population of this plant located on Peters Mountain in western Virginia. In 1990, this population contained only three or four individuals. The plants grow on nooks in a sandstone outcrop that have accumulated a small amount of soil. The population is so small that remaining individuals are inbred. Conservation efforts are focused on increasing the plant's numbers to improve genetic diversity.
