同志﹐這不是語言難點。這只是一個名詞找不到確切的解釋。

逸士同志，我说这是语言难点了吗？没有吧，呵呵呵，我这不是在向你请教么，问你这算不算一个难点。Ok, 找不到确切的解释，那就可以望文生义，这样行吗？

Malva is a genus of about 25–30 species of herbaceous annual, biennial, and perennial plants in the family Malvaceae (of which it is the type genus), one of several closely related genera in the family to bear the common English name mallow. The genus is widespread throughout the temperate, subtropical and tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Europe.[3] The word "mallow" is derived from Old English "malwe", which was imported from Latin "malva", which originated in Ancient Greek μαλάχη (malakhē) meaning "yellow" or Hebrew מַלּוּחַ (malúakh) meaning "salty".[4][5]
The leaves are alternate, palmately lobed. The flowers are from 0.5–5 cm diameter, with five pink or white petals.
The colour mauve was in 1859 named after the French name for this plant.

Malva verticillata (Chinese: 冬寒菜; pinyin: dōngháncài, Korean: 동규자」is grown on a limited commercial scale in China; when made as a herbal infusion, it is used for its colon cleansing properties and as a weight loss supplement.

喂，我的同志哥，你不是常教导我们说“做学问是来不得半点虚假的，千万不要老自以为是，望文生义。” 你自己找不到，随便拉壮丁，那怎么行呢，呵呵呵

既然"葵”不是“向日葵”那为什么还要以讹传讹呢？ 没有相应的英文蔬菜名,也只能用凡称了“plant".
第四行“生” 可不可用“grow"?

自娛君﹐謝謝提供MALVA一詞。比其他詞合適。這就去改。

“生光輝”的“生”不是“生長”﹐不能用GROW。
