As might be inferred from its specific name, Oxalis gigantea is a giant wood-sorrel, probably the largest known species of the genus. It is an extraordinary drought-deciduous shrubs that makes a large, woody bush, often so much as 1.8-2.4 m tall (occasionally 5-6 metres) and appears unique in the genus. Its erect, slightly branching stems are thickly furnished from top to bottom with short spurs, carrying rather fleshy, green leaves and countless golden blossoms. Leaves are shed whenever the conditions become arid. Depending on the rains a plant may gain and lose its leaves several times a year. Oxalis gigantea is leafless most of the year and usually remain leafless during coldest part of winter.
