Illustrative picture sir. I think the plant I posted at https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/cd4633e77b95d9d/ecd6da9dbe81cff9?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Abutilon+indicum#ecd6da9dbe81cff9
is similar to the one you saw (with reddish-brown @ center of corolla). But the plant I posted have no emarginate petals.
