Sir,
 
Extremely sorry for the wrong ID. I am ashamed. I would have to learn the differences between Abutilon & Sida. I thoght it was more like Sida than the Abutilon at - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/abutilon$20sp./indiantreepix/SJr0XrMxLUQ/s-g6hgJWJ78J
 
I thought 1) long flower stalk, 2) smaller leaves indicate it to be a Sida.
 
Regards,
 
Surajit

Thank you Sir for the identifying key between two Abutilon sp. That is hairline a hairline difference!

Sorry Sir, i don't have the measurement of the flower diameter.
 
I was going through the book, 'Plant Groups' just a while ago for the keys to Sida & Abutilon genera and found nothing that can help me identify one from the other.
 
However, i should had been more careful on the leaf shape - it is Abutilon not Sida. Besides, flower stalks need to be more elongated to be a Sida cordata.
 
Thank you & Regards,
 
Surajit

Sir,
 
Attaching an image featuring a 5 rupee coin that may give an idea about the size of this flower. But it will be a tough job, i think...
