This is a small plant from my backyard. I have found the flower closes in the evening.
Answer
This plant belong to Malvaceae, and the yellow flowers open towards morning to mid-day.
This plant is most-likely Sida rhombifolia or may be Malvastrum tricuspidatum .
From broad leaves it seems not Sida acuta
Check epicalyx ( made up of bracteoles)... is there is no epicalyx then Sida rhombifolia. If epicalyx is 3, it is Malvastrum tricuspidatum
look also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sida_rhombifolia,
Epicalyx of Malvastrum tricuspidatum :
C= Corolla (all petals), K= Calyx (all sepals), E= Epicalyx the bracteole
3 bracteoles
