Abutilon sp. ID :: 20-03-12 :: SK-1: Attaching images of Abutilon sp. If this is Abutilon indicum then the Bengali name given to it is POTARI. Species : Abutilon indicum ? Habit : herb, 1 ft to 2 ft height Habitat : common, wild, roadside, bushes Date : 02/Mar/2012, 4.35 p.m. Place : Hooghly, WB Yes … We do not have Abutilon hirtum or A. pannosum here. Attached here a set of pics of A. indicum recorded yesterday. First two photographs show two infected fruit, there were several in that individual. I have also attached two cropped originals of stem and seed photograph.
As I said in your thread that I fail to explain hairs in your seeds, the hair here I think missing. But, we will have to keep in the mind that A. indicum has varieties and we didn’t examine several individuals of a given population.
Also that I took photos in daylight, without flash.
My guess is that mericarps of A. hirtum and pannosum would be rounded at top, with acute tip and not, like that of infected fruits here.

Unique Seedpod: I saw this unique seedpod on a small shrub while photographing butterflies in rural Palghat district in Kerala a few weeks ago. I know I am presenting limited information here, I would be very grateful if someone can ID this plant. This was growing next to Lantanas, touch-me-nots etc in between paddy fields. … this must be of Abutilon species … most probably A. indicum (family Malvaceae). Agree with … This looks like the County Mallow [Abutilon indicum]. Sending one of my photographs of the same. Yes Abutilon indicum. attached flowers photo of the same.

I think it is Sida cordata (Burm.f.) Borss. Waalk. If i am not wrong on the ID of this one it is my second post of the same species. The first one have been identified by … and … at – efi thread
Species : Sida cordata (Burm.f.) Borss. Waalk (syn: S. veronicifolia Lamk.)
Habit & Habitat : wild herb, roadside
Date : 16-04-2012, 1.30 p.m.
It is Abutilon indicum Carpels pointed or mucronate I would have to learn the differences between Abutilon & Sida. I thoght it was more like Sida than the Abutilon at – efi thread The fruits are different in two genera Could you kindly give information about diameter of flower to confirm species. Attaching an image featuring a 5 rupee coin that may give an idea about the size of this flower. But it will be a tough job, i think..
Abutilon pannosum: I think Abutilon indicum Here r p fruit pics frm the same plant. I think A indicum. Yes A. indicum, the mericarps are clearly pointed along outer margin and not rounded Thanks for the link about Abutilon pannosum. There is definitely a mixing up of two plants, the twiner is Convolvulus arvensis and the yellow flower belongs to Abutilon indicum… … is very right. I can see Abutilon leaves in between the field bind weed
There are two different Abutilon sp. I have noticed along the road side.
The first one is Abutilon indicum Pl. confirm the sp. of the other flower attached herewith.
Location: CODISIA Raod, Coimbatore
Date: 27.11.2011
Habitat: Urban Road side
Habit: Shrub The second and third photographs could be Abutilon chiappardi (Abutilon chittendenii, Abutilon chitenendii, Bakeridesia integerrima, Sida integerrima). I think both are of Abutilon indicum only. This variation in flowers (corolla with or without purple center) is common in A. indicum as well as A. hirtum.

I found this “creeper” like prostrate non-woody herb growing in a mess of other weed/herbs and a lots of grass and mud… only one of this plant was around with just one yellow BUD… sorry the flower had not opened yet, its about 6 km from where Is stayed… so could not go back for a couple of days… and by the third day.. the whole plant was gone… this is all I have.. Pics were taken on 7th June 2011. Can it be identified based on this few features: Based on the fruits I know it’s a sida, but that’s where it stops for me…Please help…
Family: Malvaceae Subfamily: Malvoideae Tribe: Malveae Genus: Sida L Species ID needed Abutilon indicum indeed I think … took this photo around the Salt Lake region of Kolkata, it a gregarious weed out there . Yes, it is Abutilon indicum. I think the lonely plant had lot of disturbances in the field and been ‘forced’ to grow like a creeper, and finally gone. I took the pictures near Patuli,
but on the eastern side of the EM bypass… far away from salt lake… . you are right it was a very disturbed site.. nearby lots new apartment buildings are coming up … “Forced” to grow like a creeper” so site and prevailing conditions specify plants behavior… interesting… almost human

I can not identify this flower. I first thought of a Malvaceae but unsuccessful. The fine etamines with red anther ereres make me think of a Hypericaceae … But I must have everything wrong !!
Photo taken on 11/02/2018 in Anuradhapura-SriLanka Thank you in advance for your savvy comments!
You are right on Malvaceae. It is Abutilon, likely to be A indicum. Thank you very much for your answer.
