17. Sida rhombifolia Linnaeus (1753: 684) View in CoL ( Figures 9F–J View FIGURE 9 , 10 View FIGURE 10 , 14P View FIGURE 14 ).

Lectotype designated by Rodrigo 1944: t. 28):— “Habitat in India utraque, rhombifolia. 2”, s.d., s.c., s.n. (LINN 866.3! [digital image], isolectotype S).

Taxonomic notes: —The species can be distinguished from others in section Sidae ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ) Series Sida by its stellate-puberulous or farinaceous indumentum, presence of 8–14 mericarps with two awns 2 mm long and without a basal prominence, bracts absent in the flowers, calyx puberulous without long simple trichomes, adaxial surface of leaves subglabrous only with sparse and small stellate trichomes ( Figures 9F–J View FIGURE 9 , 14P View FIGURE 14 ) ( Krapovickas 2014, Yoshikawa et al. 2019). Although Krapovickas (2014) stated that the petals of Sida rhombifolia do not have a red basal spot, individuals with this feature were observed in Rio Grande do Sul.

Distribution, habitat and conservation status: — Sida rhombifolia is a pantropical species almost cosmopolitan ( Krapovickas 2014, Brandão et al. 2017), extending into temperate zones ( Fryxell 1988, Brandão et al. 2017). In Rio Grande do Sul the species is also widely distributed, occurring in all regions ( Figure 10 View FIGURE 10 ), in ruderal environments and anthropized grasslands. For these reasons, the species is here considered Least Concern (LC).
