I went for a long walk today, and spotted an abundance of various sidas on the track, some of them native to Australia. many of the images one can find on the internet, regarding sida, are wrongly id'ed, so hopefully we can get it right. i hope people who know more than me, will make sure, all id's are correct. convolute photo of sida leaves i collected today: i am currently only sure to correctly indentify two of them. from the left, 1st leaf sida subsicata, 2nd sida cordifolia. from the left (sorry for the shrivelled up leaves) 1st, sida cordifolia 2nd, sida rhombifolia (?) 3rd, currently unknown 4th, sida subspicata 5th, sida acuta (?) 6th, currently unknown 1, sida subspicata, queensland hemp, a native Australian sida. 2, sida cordifolia, a non native sida. please note that, for example this, herbarium specimen of a rhombifolia, displays many small, non rhombic leaves, which means, my number 6 (wooden backround, could be as well a rhombifolia. http://www2.southeastern.edu/Academics/Faculty/rickmiller/NativePlantsImages/PlantImages/Sida%20rhombifolia.jpg sida acuta, http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=sida+acuta&sa=X&biw=1097&bih=546&tbm=isch&tbnid=B75I2VNgWCNFJM:&imgrefurl=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sida_acuta_Blanco2.366-original.png&docid=e3oB1kKaWl5jaM&imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Sida_acuta_Blanco2.366-original.png&w=1404&h=2070&ei=78aVUfjqL8TzlAWz_YHACg&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:16,s:0,i:143&iact=rc&dur=1970&page=2&tbnh=175&tbnw=119&start=9&ndsp=15&tx=68.4285888671875&ty=95.85716247558594 worx in progress!

Ordered seeds of Sida Cordifolia long time ago.... and finally grew the plant... it flowered and produced more seeds.... happy me right..... well ,... then today I have a closer look at some of the wild growing in the yard of my office only to find Sida growing there as well. All that time there was sida growing here on the island.... I'm having a little trouble id'ing it online as there seem to variations in the flowers online. the pods and leaves are very simmilar to what I have growing at home. up to now I am 80% convinced that it is Sida Cordifolia
