Dear friends ... this plant had earlier got mixed up with *Sida cordata* at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/xUcJzKelIZE/discussion. Many thanks to Vijayasankar ji for having pointed it out.
At eflora of China, a small note on the page of *Sida mysorensis* [ http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200013762 ] : *Sida mysorensis* is often confused with the closely related species *S. javensis* Cavanilles and *S. cordata* (N. L. Burman) Borssum Waalkes but can usually be distinguished by the presence of glandular hairs and the erect habit. This notable "erect habit" of *S. mysorensis *made me go look up for the habit of S. cordata which turns out to be procumbent (or rarely ascending up to 1 m) This difference is quite worthy other than clear key clarified by Vijayasankar ji ... of branched inflorescence for *S. mysorensis*, whereas, flowers in *S. cordata* are solitary.
