Sorry if I'm reinventing the wheel but a person posted this on another site
and I can't see that they've had an answer. Any idea what this is? There
are close-ups available, it looks like a mallow of some sort.

Probably Malva moschata alba (white musk mallow) - there's a white form
of Malva alcea, but that's so rare I've never seen it. (The easiest
distinguishing characters for Malva alcea and Malva moschata are not
shown in the photographs.)
