AVH map***

A few specimens appear to be intermediate between this taxon and S. corrugata with the foliage of . species C but with pubescent fruits with the centre not conspicuously raised. Recent unpublished work suggests Sida sp. C sensu Harden (1990) should be split between Sida sp. limestone (D.E.Albrecht 5748) R.M.Barker and Sida sp. B (C.Dunlop 1739) W.R.Barker.
