I think it is close to the images at Sida alnifolia L. and as per the shape of the mericarps as per A Synopsis of the genus Sida L. (Malvaceae) from Maharashtra, India– Gajanan M. TAMBDE, Ramchandra D. GORE and Milind M. SARDESAI- Taiwania 61(3): 243‒252, 2016 and as per Malvaceae of Southern Peninsular India: A Taxonomic Monograph V. V. Sivarajan, ‎A. K. Pradeep – 1996.

However, here I only see 5 mericarps in a fruit, while A Synopsis of the genus Sida L. (Malvaceae) from Maharashtra, India mentions 7 to 10. Flora of China says mericarps 6 to 8.

Hi, Sam ji,

Can you check the no. of mericarps in a fruit again?
