" writes Another please pretty please? Thank you, Anita 1. http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...iew¤t=my steryplant2a.jpg That might be a mallow of some description, but I can't see enough detail to be sure one way or the other. The calyces appear to be valvate in aestivation, and persistent in fruit, with the fruit being a schizocarp, and the foliage alternate with the leaves palmately veined. That matches a mallow. Unlobed leaves, and leaves with rounded (as opposed to cordate) bases are relatively rare among mallows, but they do exist. I'm not familiar enough with the American species to make an identification, but the plant doesn't look incompatible with an identification as Sida spinosa. http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/...ickly_sida.htm http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?...ID=sisp_1h.jpg 2. http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...iew¤t=my steryplant2b.jpg That's a different plant. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley http://www.malvaceae.info |

The easy way to distinguish Sida (and segregates) from Malvastrum is that Malvastrum has an involucel - an extra whorl of floral parts below the calyx - of three lanceolate or spatulate bracteoles, and Sida (and segregates) don't. Also, this Malvastrum has "plicate" leaves, and Sidas don't. 2. http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...iew¤t=my steryplant2b.jpg That's a different plant. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
