Wikipedia Abstract

Sida rhombifolia (arrowleaf sida) ( Sanskrit : atibalā अतिबला ) is a perennial or sometimes annual plant in the Family Malvaceae, native to the New World tropics and subtropics. Other common names include rhombus-leaved sida, Paddy's lucerne, jelly leaf, and also somewhat confusingly as Cuban jute, Queensland-hemp, and Indian hemp (although S. rhombifolia is not related to either jute or hemp). Synonyms include Malva rhombifolia. It is used in Ayurvedic medicine, where it is known as kurumthotti. This is another species, native to India, Sida cordifolia (White Mallow)
