VALUE AND USE
SPECIES: Iliamna rivularis | Wild Hollyhock 



WOOD PRODUCTS VALUE : 
NO-ENTRY


IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE : 
Wild hollyhock was highly preferred by sheep and cattle in recently
burned quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) stands in Wyoming and Idaho
[6].  It was also utilized heavily by elk and mule deer in recently
burned areas of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks [14].


PALATABILITY : 
NO-ENTRY


NUTRITIONAL VALUE : 
Crude protein percentage of wild hollyhock in aspen stands in Idaho
ranged from 12.1 to 22.4 from July to September. In-vitro digestible dry
matter ranged from 64.9 to 84.4 percent during the same time period [4].


COVER VALUE :

OTHER USES AND VALUES :

MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
Wild hollyhock may become abundant following clearcutting in grand fir
(Abies grandis) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) habitats in
central Idaho.  It may also appear after mechanical site preparation,
but is not as well represented [22].  In Douglas-fir/pinegrass
(Calamagrostis rubescens) habitats in central Idaho, wild hollyhock
showed no change following clearcutting, but declined after shelterwood
cutting and clearcuting followed by mechanical site preparation.  It
increased drastically after clearcutting followed by burning and after
stand-destroying wildfires [23].
