It was taken at my farm in September last year. … need validation that none of the photos belong to Sida rhombifolia … will then be safe to revise my visualization of S. rhombifolia. Many thanks … for showing Sida rhombifolia … am aware that there at least couple of varieties of this species, making it much more complex for me understand / know them. Will look out for others’ posts of this species. Perhaps this is one complex group which needs to be critically examined to place our photographs. Any how specimens often referred to S. rhombifolia or rhomboidea may be placed under at least three species. Flowers in clusters on short axillary shoots…S. yunnanensis (Sida obovata Wall.

If possible closeups of flowers, foliage as well as habit . However, the picture looks like photograph of one of Sida species. SYMBIOSIS 72: Here is the 72nd member of the series. Common Emigrant butterfly is on flower of Sida sp.
Malvaceae Week: ID of 11092011GS1 Sida species: 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
SYMBIOSIS : 235: Attaching an image of a Common Tiger butterfly on the flowers of Alstonia scholaris. Nice photograph Colonel, but you seemed to have sent the wrong photograph. This is a Striped Tiger on a species of Sida possibly Sida acuta. Thank you for correcting me.The plant is definitely Sida ( That is what is written on the image ), somehow I wrote Alstonis scolaris by mistake. The error is regretted. PLANT FOR ID: This plant is growing near road side in village Tal Distt Umaria M.P. i think it’s Sida Ovata, Please validate the ID otherwise pl correct. Any Sida sp.? KAS week :: (Sida mysorensis ?? 03/10/2012 – NJ): Sida mysorensis ?? Pl. confirm. I think Not. … perhaps, one among Sida cordata OR cordifolia … am not clear of the differences among two.
