One my request, concerning *Abutilon* in another thread <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/TRSEpDxNHCA/7XzMvXm-4B4J>, has not been addressed yet, leave aside met, yet I have received this mail, perhaps to express my view on it, view of a minnow, Huh!
I agree with Dinesh Ji's view. I do not think it is or the one in https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/wzOrPt8dSyA/1h3CqyUe0xUJ is *Abutilon pannosum*. I also do not think this is *Abutilon hirtum*. Except the hairs at hilum, which I fail to explain for want of literature, I think it is probably *Abutilon indicum* G. Don, where number of carpels can be 20 or more <http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/731298#page/224/mode/1up>. Yes, I read that FoP records, in *A. hirtum*, seed with minute shinning stellate hairs, more so at hilum. At the same time FoC records seeds in *A. indicum* are sparsely stellate.
