Thanks very much Rakesh ji for taking time to analyse. My mistake - I did not put approximate dimensions. The flower size is relatively larger than those of *Sida rhombifolia* / *Sida acuta* - approx 2 to 2.5 cm across. The height of plant is about 1.5 metre or a little higher.
Most of the leaves of posted plant are rhomboid (wider than the usual) than what is described for *ravii* as ovate-lanceolate / oblong-elliptic / lanceolate. The herbarium does not show any leaf "wide" as we see in our posted plant. That makes me not think of *ravii*. The herbarium is not show any flower. I think there are only buds. Nor does the illustration show flower in the branch that shows leaves and buds. Another observation related to my plant is the crowding of leaves at the apex, almost in a whorl, which is not seen in the illustration / herbarium. I hope I am not mistaking. Regards.
