Oxalis corniculata f.
rubrifolia, a form of the original species Oxalis
corniculata, is slightly smaller than the parent species. It
grows in dry areas, such as sandy sections of roadsides and in the
cracks of asphalt. It branches nicely, and its lower parts scrawl on
the ground, and the upper parts sit up. Leaves comprise three
leaflets with red-purple color. Umbels emerge from the axils and
bear approximately 8mm in diameter, yellow flowers with red mottles
inside, forming red rings that surround the ovaries. The fruit
(capsule) is approximately 2cm in length, cylindrical, and splits
open to release numerous seeds as it matures. Bloom time: May-July. |
