Pavonia cancellata

Field Notes
Description:
Thre plant is tall over six feet. Single stem, no branches. Flower is small and yellow with a coloured centre. Looks a lot like a small hibiscus or Okra (Ladies finger) flower. Leaves and stem are velvety to touch (soft hairy)
Habitat:
Sprouted by itself (may be bird droppings brought the seeds) in a flowerpot alongside my other potted plant in the pot and rapidly grew tall and flowered. I am a little intrigued by it.
Notes:
Perhaps also called Hairy Okra.
