| Abutilon grandifolium Willd. |
Abutilon grandifolium, or Hairy Indian Mallow, is a large shrub that is 2 m high with broad, 1-6 cm leaves. The fruits are schizocarps that are 1.4-1.5 cm in diameter and 1-1.1 cm tall.
A. grandifolium can be distinguished from A. theophrasti by long, simple hairs on the stem rather than stellate hairs.
[edit] Distribution
The species is native to South America, but it is also found in Hawaii and in shrubland and loamy areas of Australia.
