|discussion=<p><i>Sida ciliaris</i> is found in Broward and Miami-Dade counties and the Florida Keys and in central and southern Texas. The stems can be procumbent but not distinctly mat-forming, and they are often ascending, not flexible, and tufted. The flowers are sometimes described as being salmon-colored; that feature, the congested terminal leaves and flowers, and the adnate stipules are quite distinctive.</p>
