Abutilon lepidum is a flowering plant in the family Malvaceae.[1] It was first described in 1868 as Sida lepida by Ferdinand von Mueller,[2][3] but was transferred to the genus, Abutilon, in 1980 by Andrew Stewart Mitchell.[2][4] The species epithet, lepidum, comes from the Latin adjective, lepidus, which means pleasant, charming, or elegant.[5]
It is native to Western Australia and the Northern Territory.[2]
