Modiola
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
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,[1] Carolina bristlemallow,[2] 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.
Ecology
Carolina bristlemallow is a grassland weed,[3] commonly occurring in gardens and lawns[4] and in moist habitats such as shores of ponds and reserviors.[5] It can propagate vegetatively by rooting at the nodes,[6] and in Australia, seeds have been reported to germinate from the scats of introduced deer but not those of native kangaroos.[7] It has shown resistance to the herbicide clopyralid[8].
Carolina bristlemallow is infected by the rust fungus Puccinia modiolae[9] and the chytrid fungus Synchytrium modioliensis.[10]
