Question
Hello, I am having a very difficult time identifying a shrub in my back yard (Milton, MA). The leaves look like "Shrubby Rose Mallow" however I have never seen this plant with flowers which makes ID'ing 10x harder. I have a few pictures of the leaves if you could please take a look at them?
Answer
Dear Sativumbum, the leaves you have acquired images of look like Hibiscus syriacus (shrubby rose-mallow), a member of the Malvaceae. I can't be 100% certain without reproductive structures, but they do look similar to this species. Best wishes.
