Sp. pl. 2: 685, 1753 (Basionym) Malachra capitata later published in 1767 by Linnaeus in Syst. Nat. Ed. 12, 2: 458 Mr. Linnaeus probably shifted this species of Sida to a new taxon Malachra, experts will further clarify...

Malvaceae herb for ID :: MK 2017 Feb-02 : 9 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5) It is Malachra capitata L. Please check for Malachra capitata (Sida capitata) introduced from tropical America At the outset, it looked like Malachra species. But on comparison with photos in the websites it does not tally. Moreover, the photographs are not clear. If there are other photographs (clear) it would be helpful. It will be better if you sent images of minimum 800 by 600 pixels (in future) to see the details as I also had lot of difficulties to see the details. It is Malachra capitata
Need identification : 4 posts by 1 author. Attachments (1) Please identify this plant. Since the picture is not clear, I am unable to identify correctly, a guess it is a species of Sida, Epicalyx, essential organ structure needed. May be Malachra capitata as per images herein, though posted image is not clear with hardly any details. I posted a plant photograph for identification,without any details. You identified it as "Malachra capitata". Thanks for your identification and for the deep knowledge on plants.
