... this must be of Abutilon species ... most probably A. indicum (family Malvaceae).

Regards.

I saw this unique seedpod on a small shrub while photographing butterflies in rural Palghat district in Kerala a few weeks ago. I know I am presenting limited information here, I would be very grateful if someone can ID this plant. This was growing next to Lantanas, touch-me-nots etc in between paddy fields.

Attached is top and front view of the seedpods.

Hi,

Agree with Dinesh. This looks like the County Mallow [Abutilon indicum]. Sending one of my photographs of the same.

With regards,

Neil Soares.
