A143D758D869FFEBFF67E06220F433C1.taxon	biology_ecology	Habitat, distribution, and phenology: — S. oblonga was found in the Espinhaço Mountains, at approximately 900 m. This site is considered a center of diversity for several genera, due to its high degree of endemism determined by its hilly topography. The vegetation is characterized as rocky grassland (campo rupestre), but this species was collected in a secondary growth area. Individuals of this species were found bearing flowers and fruits in April.	en	Bovini, Massimo G. (2016): Two new species of Sida (Malvaceae: Malvoideae) for Brazil.

A143D758D869FFEBFF67E06220F433C1.taxon	conservation	Conservation status: — S. oblonga was represented by a single collection. It was found outside the protected area, in an area with livestock and commercial plantations of bean, coffee and maize, which may result in population decline. According to the IUCN (2014), the species can be treated as CR B 1 a, with an estimated area of occurrence smaller than 100 km ².	en	Bovini, Massimo G.

A143D758D86BFFEBFF67E4C120D5321A.taxon	description	With most species endemic to Brazil, this section was named by C. Presl in 1835, due to the presence of muticous mericarps, and was revised by Krapovickas (2003), who recognized six species. Currently, the section can be recognized by ovate to slightly trilobate leaf blades, and 5 – 8 mericarps that are muticous or submuticous, and not very ornate.	en	Bovini, Massimo G.

A143D758D86BFFEBFF67E5AF270A363C.taxon	conservation	Conservation status: — To date, Sida carrascoana is represented by only a single voucher specimen found outside the protected area. Despite occurring in an area of difficult access, the surrounding areas are under strong human pressure, such as expansion of livestock and commercial plantations. According to the IUCN (2014), this species can be treated as CR B 1 a, with an estimated area of occurrence smaller than 100 km ².	en	Bovini, Massimo G. (2016): Two new species of Sida (Malvaceae: Malvoideae) for Brazil. Phytotaxa 282 (4): 291-295, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.282.4.6, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.282.4.6
A143D758D86BFFEBFF67E5AF270A363C.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The epithet carrascoana comes from the carrasco vegetation, a xerophilous, shrubby, high, and dense vegetation, which is common in the Caatinga and Cerrado, where the species was found.	en	Bovini, Massimo G. (2016): Two new species of Sida (Malvaceae: Malvoideae) for Brazil. Phytotaxa 282 (4): 291-295, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.282.4.6, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.282.4.6
A143D758D86BFFEBFF67E5AF270A363C.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic notes: — Sida carrascoana is very different from the other species of section Muticae, due to its much reduced petioles and leaves. Compared to other species of the section Muticae from the state of Minas Gerais, it can be identified by the following characters.	en	Bovini, Massimo G.
