Oxalis glabra

Common name: Tapytsuring

Family: Oxalidaceae (Wood-sorrel)

Distribution: Western Cape

National red list: Least Concern

Comments: The trifoliate structure of the leaf can be seen in variations throughout all members of the Oxalis genus. However, the particularly narrow leaflets of the glabra plant look more like fingers rather than a common clover.
