Malvaceae week : Malvastrum coromandelianum (L.)
Today morning I saw this for the first time. (May be I was neglecting earlier thinking it to be Sida)
Hopefully the ID is correct.
Characters to be watched:
Erect herb upto 1 m high. Stems petioles and pedicels with 4 armed appressed stellate hairs pointing up and downwards.
(I tried to check it hard in may pictures but can't figure out clearly... One of the pictures in Gurcharan ji's post does show some such hairs)
Calyx broader....Ref. Pardeshi ji
Flower solitary axillary. Epicalyx segments 4-7 covered with 4 rayed hairs; Corolla yellow obliquely obovate.(Uneven at tip)
Schizocarps globular c 2mm long
