OXALIS fabaefolia

Author :
Family : Oxalidaceae
Habitat : South Africa
It is a species with a number of synonyms, O. asinina Jacq., O. crispa Jacq. and O. fabaefolia Jacq. var. twitched (Jacq.) Sond. In his Ph.D. K.C. Oberlander (2009, pages 174-202) (also forthcoming in the South African Journal of Botany) showed that morphological and molecular data place O. fabaefolia strongly in the Oxalis flava species group, and therefore have proposed that Oxalis fabaefolia be considered a variety of O. flava as Oxalis flava var. fabaefolia (Jacq.) Dreyer & Oberl. Kew now agrees with this designation.
Plants sometimes called O. namaquana are actually O. fabaefolia. The leaflets of O. fabaefolia can be quite broad and have "wings", whereas the leaflets of O. namaquana tend to be narrow. For the one that concerns us, Christiaan van Schalkwyk shows this species in the habitat of a colony outside Vanrhynsdorp. It is a three-leaf form with broad petiolate wings. In this colony, the color of the flowers included all the possibilities of this species: yellow, white and mauve.
