Sida pradeepiana sp. nov. (Malvaceae) from India

The new species Sida pradeepiana is described from the Idukki district of Kerala state, India. It resembles S. alnifolia and S. rhomboidea, but differs by its concolorous-rhomboid leaves, unarticulated pedicels, mericarp apex beaked with a single muticous process and stellate pubescent mericarps and hilum of the seeds.本文记述了产自印度喀拉拉邦伊杜基县的新种普拉迪普黄花稔（Sida pradeepiana）。该物种与S. alnifolia及S. rhomboidea形态相似，但可通过以下特征与之区分：叶为同色菱形叶、花梗无关节、分果瓣顶端具单个无尖突的喙状突起，且分果瓣与种子种脐均被星状短柔毛。
