1 National Herbarium and Plant Laboratories, Department of Plant Resources, Godavari, Lalitpur, Nepal * Author for correspondence: gdb742gdb@gmail.com T genus Sida L. (Malvaceae) is comprised of approximately 200 species distributed from tropical to subtropical region of the world (Paul, 1993). Up to five species (S. acuta, S. cordata, S. cordifolia, S. mysorensis and S. rhombifolia) are reported from Nepal (Whitemore, 1979; Press et al., 2000; Bista et al., 2001). During the course of plant collection this herbarium specimen was collected by P. P. Kurmi from Udayapur VDC, Udayapur, Kapilbastu District, Central Nepal at 150 m asl. During the identification this specimen did not match with any species of Sida already reported from Nepal. After the detailed study of specimens and available literatures (Paul, 1993), it has been identified as Sida spinosa L., which is a new addition to the flora of Nepal (Fig 1). The species is distinguished from others by its “stems with 1-2 spiny emergences at the base of petioles; mericarps with two divergent apical awns”. The herbarium specimens are housed at National Herbarium and Plant Laboratories (KATH), Department of Plant Resources, Kathmandu, Nepal.
