Scarlet Globemallow (Sphaeralcia coccinea) is widely distributed across the Great Basin and intermountain west, found from 3,000-7,000 feet. It occurs in many kinds of soils, aspects and slopes, though it seems to occur most frequently in lowlands, badlands and foothills in the sagebrush steppe and pinon-juniper transition zones. Though widely distributed, it grows in small, sporadic patches.
Scarlet Globemallow is frequently misidentified, or rather, other species of globemallow are mistakenly called Scarlet Globemallow simply because they have a "scarlet" or "red" flower. Scarlet has three characteristics that when combined, easily distinguish it from other globemallows:
• It is short - one of the shortest globemallows, and rarely gets taller that 8 or 10 inches.
• The leaves are deeply lobed
• Its root system is Rhizomatous
