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/weeds/plants/prickly_sida.htm http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=SISP&photoID=sisp_1h.jpg > >2. >http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/soive2000/?action=view¤t=my >steryplant2b.jpg > That's a different plant. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley http://www.malvaceae.info
