Palaua is a genus of malvaceous plants native to the Andes. It shares with Malope and Kitaibelia the property of possessing capitate schizocarps, and was formerly classified with them in a subfamily Malopoideae or tribe Malopeae. It is now considered to be more closely related to Sphaeralcea, and to other Andean mallows. It is native to Peru and northern Chile.[2] The genus name of Palaua is in honour of Antonio Palau y Verdera (1734–1793), a Spanish naturalist.[3] It was first described and published in Diss. Vol.1 on page 40 in 1785.[2]
