Sida neomexicana is a small spreading herb with pale yellow flowers. The leaves are about the same
size as the petals and are creased in the middle. The leaves may have a distinctive red fringe around the edge. The leaves are longer than those of Sida abutifolia, and the stems of Sida abutifolia have spreading hairs.
Many thanks to Radha Veach for helping sort out Sida neomexicana and Sida abutifolia for me!
