Malvaceae is a family of flowering plants. The family includes about 1,000 species in 75 genera. Malvaceae are found in tropical and temperate regions. They are not found very often in places such as the Antarctica because those places are too cold for Malvaceae plants.

Examples

Okra is one example: it is called the lady's finger or gumbo.
