|discussion=<p><i>Sida ulmifolia</i> is pantropical and weedy but thought to have originated in Central America. In previous floras it and <i>S. planicaulis</i> have been treated as S. acuta Burman f., but that is a different species from those from Brazil, Guatemala, Mozambique, Sri Lanka, southeastern Asia, several Pacific islands, and Australia. Under different names, <i>S. ulmifolia</i> has been reported also from New Jersey and ballast.</p>
