[dr.rakesh Singh]

Typical population of Sida rhombifolia . 

In this species leaf shape changes from early life to flowering stage to when plant is really old 6 months or more ...

In early life leaves are broad , so much so they look like leaf of S. rhomboidea . 

In flowering stage , while older leaves are retained in lower section of plant , newer leaves definitely become longer than wide , a typical rhoiboid shape . Late life , old plants , leaves become much narrow , smaller in length too . Flowers become smaller too . But it survives and re-invigorates when gets water , in next monsoon , or due to human intervention .  Really a perennial in favorable circumstances . 

I wd. love to see variants , but could not go much ahead on the links provided by Garg sir in an earlier post .

Thanks Dr. Rakesh ji & Usha Di  for the  interesting information on the plant. I was sure it was Sida   but got doubt on the species ID.
