Oxalis dillenii, the southern wood-sorrel, [2] slender yellow woodsorrel, or Dillen's oxalis, [3] is a species in the woodsorrel family. Like other Oxalis species, the leaves of this plant resemble clover leaves, with three leaflets. Oxalis dillenii can be confused with other small yellow flowered species in North America, such as Oxalis florida. [4] The flowers have five yellow petals that are 4 to 10 mm (0.16 to 0.39 in) in length. The leaflets are 1 to 2 cm (0.39 to 0.79 in) wide with pointed hairs. The fruits are rather brown and are 1.5 to 2.5 cm (0.59 to 0.98 in). It is often considered a weed, and can be found worldwide, but likely originated in North America. [5]

<i>Oxalis</i> Genus of flowering plants

<i>Oxalis acetosella</i> Species of flowering plant in the family Oxalidaceae

Oxalis acetosella, the wood sorrel or common wood sorrel, is a rhizomatous flowering plant in the family Oxalidaceae, common in most of Europe and parts of Asia. The specific epithet acetosella refers to its sour taste. The common name wood sorrel is often used for other plants in the genus Oxalis. In much of its range it is the only member of its genus and hence simply known as "the" wood sorrel. While common wood sorrel may be used to differentiate it from most other species of Oxalis, in North America, Oxalis montana is also called common wood sorrel. It is also known as Alleluia because it blossoms between Easter and Pentecost, when the Psalms which end with Hallelujah are sung.

Oxalis pes-caprae is a species of tristylous yellow-flowering plant in the wood sorrel family Oxalidaceae. Oxalis cernua is a less common synonym for this species. Some of the most common names for the plant reference its sour taste owing to oxalic acid present in its tissues. Indigenous to South Africa, the plant has become a pest plant in different parts of the world that is difficult to eradicate because of how it propagates through underground bulbs.

It tends to grow in woodlands, meadows, and in disturbed areas as both a perennial and annual. Erect when young, this plant later becomes decumbent as it lies down, and branches regularly. It is not to be confused with similar plants in the same genus which are also often referred to as "yellow woodsorrel".
