Names
OXALIS obliquifolia Steud. [family OXALIDACEAE], Rich. Fl. Abyss. i. 123.
Information
Stem 0 or short and rhizomatous, from a dark brown ovoid or oblong bulb. Leaves tufted 3-foliolate, glabrous or nearly so, on petioles of 1/2–2 in.; leaflets rather succulent, cuneate, obtusely rounded above, entire or the median leaflet retuse, 1/3– 3/4 in. broad. Peduncles 1-flowered, glabrous, with a pair of narrow-subulate or filiform bracteoles, sometimes with a second flower from one of the latter, exceeding the leaves. Sepals oblong-lanceolate, apparently without glandular calli. Petals 1 in. long or less, purplish above (Rich.).
Distribution
Abyssinia Nile Land Mountainous places, Schimper! Parkyns!
Notes
Nearly allied to O. convexula, Jacq., a Cape species, and perhaps a variety of it rather than a distinct species.
