Unknown yellow flower

[Jacqueline Burrell]

The images were taken yesterday. There were a number of this species with none of the plants more than foot tall.

It must be a species of Abutilon. Its fruit seems to be a bit small for Abutilon theophrasti (Velvet-leaf).

[Jacqueline Burrell]

Thanks. I think this could be Abutilon theophrasti from the images I've studied. I also understand that the plant prefers rich and cultivated soil and these were growing in an area of wasteland which could explain the small fruit.

[Alcedo atthis]

To me this looks also like A. theoprasti; fruit may not be fully grown yet.
