Where it grows wild

Its habitat is undocumented. The records come from low hills near the coast and the Andean foothills of Biobío and Maule, where small Oxalis grow in matorral clearings, forest margins and grassy slopes.

Few records carry an elevation. The climate sites lie at 150–300 m, with one at about 1150 m.
