As per efi thread:
This one (Sida mysorensis ) has branched inflorescence, whereas, flowers in S. cordata are solitary. . As per efi thread : I think, Sida cordifolia, if the plant is an erect herb. If the plant is creeping then this can be S. cordata.
Leaf size can be up to 5.5 X 3.5cm for S cordifolia and for S cordata it can be 6 X 5cm, according to Flora of Udupi (G K Bhat, 2003). .
Erect herb, leaves cordate and hairy (stem too), pedicel is shorter than peduncle: Sida cordifolia
Trailing herb, leaves faintly hairy or even sometimes glabrous pedicel is as long as or longer than peduncle: Sida cordata

Weed for ID Hyderabad 31102013-NAW : Attachments (5). 4 posts by 3 authors.
This weed/herb i found in my backyard.
about 30 cms tall. leaves about 3-4 cm long. yellow flower about 8mm wide. the 3rd picture shows structure of the flower (but burnt in a few places due to sunshine reflection so a bit grotesque.) It is a Sida species, most probably S. cordata. … my thought same as … the flower stalk would be considered ‘long’ tho the pictures dont clearly show it, it can be infered from the stalk of a bud shown in the 1st picture above. So this would be long–stalk heart-leaf sida or sida cordata as shown in the flowers of india site and as per the discussion on the efloraindia page on sida cordata, rather than the short-stalk medicinal heart leaf sida or sida cordifolia.

Malvaceae Fortnight: ID of Sida species from Morni, Haryana-GSJULY53/56 : 4 posts by 4 authors.
This Sida species growing along the borders of Tikkar Tal Lake in Morni on rocky ground in April, 2010 I had initially identified a Sida veronicifolia, now correctly known as S. codata. This identification was based on cordate leaves and single axillary flowers. On critical examination it does not appear the same as the plant seems to be more robust, not trailing, and more importantly the venation seems to be penninerved and not palminerved. Any clue on correct ID Sida cordata is a prostrate herb. Kindly refer regional flora and confirm the identity or refer the herbarium from near by Botanical survey of India or any other standard Herbarium. Two (or three) similar looking species are S. cordata, S. mysorensis and S. javensis. KEY and differences can be viewed in FoC and FoP. However, as per Haines, S. veronicaefolia Lam. can be sub-erect, 1-3 ft amongst bushes. The venation is similar to my record, also identified by …
Sharing some pictures I guess is Sida cordifolia L. (accepted name) shot at Dolal Ghat Nepal on 30 March 2013 at 2500 ft.
Nepali Names: बलु Balu / बरियार Bariyaar It appears to be closer to images at Sida cordata (Burm.f.) Borss.Waalk. rather than those at Sida cordifolia L. which is a more robust plant. It is Sida cordata (Burm.f.) Borss. Waalk., Thank you for correcting ID.

Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type-Wild Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb- Herb Height/Length- about 10 cms Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size-Green Flowers Size/ Colour/ Calyx/ Bracts- cream yellow Fruits not seen The 2nd pic is only of the flower the leaves are of some other plant but as it was growing wild it was difficult to separate it out. I have photographed it as was looking very clear
Most probably this is Abutilon indicum. from Malvaceae. Search for the earlier postings of the same plant on the group site. Yes looks like A indicum but flowers looks small Looks like a Sida sp. to me, may be S. cordata. Yes S.cordata (syn: S. veronicifolia) seems to be the right choice. Yes… my vote is for sid most likely…
BUT do you remember I submitted a creeper like plant that I had said could be SIDA but turned out to be Abutilon indicum? ((my plant is at URL: efi thread ))
QUESTION: SO HOW DOES ONE SEPARATE THE TWO ?
I am confused about the Id I went back to the wild area and touched the leaves they were very rough to touch? Does this give any clue? I think Leaves usually not so large in S cordata as compared to flowers, this may be due if plant growing in shady area. And leaves may not be so rough if growing in shade. Confusing!!!!! I still think this is Abutilon. I think, Sida cordifolia, if the plant is an erect herb. If the plant is creeping then this can be S. cordata. As the Id was not clear I went again into the wild to capture fresh pics of the plant at 11.30 am. The flowers were already open.
Studying the pics I too think it is Sida Cordata
I have attached 3 pics comparing the stem, leaves, calyx and flowers of the two. The pics of A indicum are from the net a white arrow shows purple tinged stem in A indicum . Pics of Sida Acuta are mine
I hope I am correct.
Is this also Abutilon sp. or is it Sida veronicaefolia ? The problem is i do not have any leaf of this plant. Species : unknown Habit : herb Habitat : wild, village roadside Date : 28/02/12, 12.15 p.m. Place : Hooghly, WB Yes Sida cordata (Burm.f.) Borss. (syn: S. veronicifolia Lamk.)

species : Sida cordata var. cordata
Habit & Habitat : wild herb in unused land among thicket
Date : 26/9/12, 10.35 a.m.
Place : Nalikul (Hooghly) I think it is no longer a riddle. Whether we follow Flora of China (one of the most reliable and latest Floras), Flora of Pakistan, Enum. Fl Pl. Nepal or The Plant List, the latest name for plants earlier treated under S. humilis Willd. or S. veronicaefolia Lam. ((now spelled veronicifolia as per the ICN) is S. cordata (Burm.f.) Borss. Waalk.
Wild Plant for ID : Oman : 241012 : AK-1: Plant was creeping, not standing up.
Leaves suggest a Malvaceae species.
On searching, the closest I came to was Sida cordata.
Experts kindly confirm id. Yes, this looks like Sida cordata…

No, it’s not Cucurbitaceae. Sida cordata only You are right. Not a climber. Only ends of the branches appear like tendrils. Sida cordata is the same as Sida cordifolia? No, sir, Sida cordifolia is an erect herb or undershrub, up to 1 m only, entire densely tomentose. Thanks for the clarification.
I am not a botanist, so my questions may appear of a preliminary level.
it’s ok sir, I understood.
Identification, please. Is it be Sida cordata? Forgot to mention that flowers were yellow, as you can see in the form of buds in one of the photos. I guess correct ID !
