Description
Oxalis corniculata is a herbaceous plant in the Oxalidaceae family, found in regions such as Newfoundland, British Columbia, and parts of South America, including Antioquia, Cundinamarca, and Nariño. It is also present in the Açores, Madeira, and other Atlantic islands. The species was first described by Linnaeus in 1753. Watson (1989) clarified the type specimen, rejecting an earlier choice by Eiten (1955) due to geographical inconsistencies, and designated a collection by Burser instead. The plant is known by the common names `ihi, creeping woodsorrel, procumbent yellow sorrel, and sleeping beauty.
