I've just received an email with a request for identification, of a couple of photographs of a plant from Key Largo.
It's not a species that I immediately recognise, but it's something in Abutilinae, and on first thought I suspected an Abutilon of some description. However after a little digging around the US malviflora I now suspect Herissantia crispa. Can anyone confirm or correct?
Update: Professor Fryxell confirms that it is Herissantia crispa.
