A very tiny plant with yellow flowers growing in the grass.
On searching, it seems to be Sida cuneifolia complex.
Yes, it’s Sida only
If we follow, Catalogue of Life, Sida cuneifolia Roxb. is a syn. of Sida schimperiana Hochst. ex A. Rich.
But POWO, treats both of them as separate as per Sida cuneifolia Roxb. (distribution only in India) and Sida schimperiana Hochst. ex A. Rich. (distribution only in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda).
…, May pl. look into and correct the FOI page.
