@truthseqr SEEK identified this as a ‘marsh mallow’ and I would be curious of your thoughts? I took a picture of the overall plant, but wasn’t able to find any flowering at this time. I will go back again and see as time progresses if it flowers and take a picture. I was in the process of saving a double crested cormorant and could not dissect any of the plant itself at the time. Stay tuned :-)
Slender shrub/tree about 2 m tall growing between the Cobal Canyon Trail and stream in the canyon in the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park.
