In the Americas, it is not native and it is often an invasive weed. The color "mauve" derives from the French name for the plant. Mild tasting leaves of the malva plant are a substitute for eating lettuce.

5. Change a letter from the previous answer and find a traditional sport played in areas of Spain.

Answer: Calva

Calva is practiced today in Castile, Salamanca and Zamora. It has its roots to the ancient tribe of the Celtiberians, who aided Hannibal and Carthage in the Second Punic War, but they were defeated by the Romans.
It was played by shepherds, who entertained themselves by throwing stones at a bull's horns. In the game's modern form, the horn is substituted by a piece of wood and, instead of a stone, the players throw a cylinder of steel or iron.
