Dear Tabish, *S. spinosa* is convincing ... referred these two links: 1) http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/weeds/plants/prickly_sida.htm 2) http://www.missouriplants.com/Yellowalt/Sida_spinosa_page.html Indian sites discuss medicinal values of *S. spinosa*.
FOS / FFOS does not have this plant. Another trip to the site may become necessary to check out the "blunt green spines that occur below the petioles of the lower leaves" Regards.
