Oxalis griffithii, a
perennial, inhabits forest floors in mountainous regions, its roots
being thick and making no branching. All the leaves comprise single
leaves with three leaflets, and they take roots at bases; that is to
say, they are radical leaves. Tips of the leaflets are succise,
ending as if abruptly cut off, center portions dented, corners
obtuse. Dense hairs are observable on petioles, backsides, and
flower stalks. Flowers are white and measure 3-4cm in diameter. Bloom time:
March-April. |
