Sida fallax
''Sida fallax'', known as yellow 'ilima, or in Hawaiian, ilima, is a species of herbaceous flowering plant in the ''Hibiscus'' family, Malvaceae, that occurs on some Pacific Islands. The flowers are small, in diameter, have five petals, and are a golden yellow in color. Plants may be erect or prostrate and are found in drier areas in sandy soils, often near the ocean. ''Ilima'' is the symbol of Laloimehani and is the flower for the island of Oahu.
Ilima grows from 6 inches to 10 ft tall in prostrate (beach growing) and erect (upland shrub) forms. Lowland ilima has silver-green foliage, mountain varieties have smooth, green foliage. Leaves can be long and narrow or rounded or heartshaped with finely to coarsely serrated leaf margins. Flowers may be solitary or occur in small clusters.
==Uses==
Native Hawaiians used ''ilima'' flowers to make ''lei''. ''S. fallax'' is sometimes used as a groundcover in tropical areas.
