Sphaeralcea angustifolia is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family known by the common names copper globemallow[2] and narrow-leaved globemallow. It is native to the southwestern United States as well as northern and central Mexico,[1] where it grows in desert and plateau habitat. It produces many erect stems, approaching three meters in maximum height. It is woolly or felt-like in texture. The gray-green leaf blades are lance-shaped and measure up to about 5 cm long. They have wavy or slightly lobed edges. The leafy inflorescence bears several flowers each with five wedge-shaped orange petals just under 1 cm in length, and yellow anthers.
