"Althaea officinalis, or marsh-mallow, is a perennial species indigenous to Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, which is used in herbalism and as an ornamental plant. A confection made from the root since ancient Egyptian times evolved into today´s marshmallow treat, but most modern marshmallow treats no longer contain any marsh-mallow root." - (en.wikipedia.org 15.05.2021)
