Mallow (Mala, Magh Ealla, and other variations in Irish) is the "Crossroads of Munster" and the administrative capital of north County Cork, in Ireland.
Set deep in the Blackwater Valley, Mallow was traditionally an agricultural market town but due to vast improvements in infrastructure, coupled with significant promotion and investment from the Mallow Town Council and the private sector, the town has become a thriving business and satellite town.
The Mallow railway viaduct which straddles the Blackwater, commonly (and still) known as the "Ten Arch Bridge" was bombed and destroyed during the Irish Civil War.
The family is characterized by often mucilaginous sap and by showy, five-part flowers with a prominent column of fused stamens.
The true mallows (genusMalva) are native to north temperate regions of the Old World, although many species have escaped from cultivation and become naturalized in the United States.
The mallow family is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Malvales.
