Oxalis dillenii, a
perennial herb originating in North America, grows wild on roadsides
or wastelands in western Japan. It resembles Oxalis corniculata.
However, all the terrestrial stems arise from rhizomes that run
sideways underground and rise to a height of 10-50cm. The flowers
are yellow and 5-petaled; after the flowers, the gynophores go
downwards. The whole is somewhat hairy, and small stipules could be
more inconspicuous. Bloom time: April-October.
