EN: Sida acuta (a type of weed)
The plant that looks like it's trying to be a walis but didn't quite make it. It's the 'cosplayer' of the plant world, often found in vacant lots. Your lola probably knows a dozen herbal remedies for it, while you just see it as something to pull out of the garden.
ROOT MEANING: broom
Also spelled "walis-walisan". The name comes from its resemblance to a small broom.
