Oxalis dehradunensis

A small wood-sorrel listed as native to the Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola and the Lesser Antilles, and naturalised as a weed in India, the Gulf states and Mexico. Very little is published on it beyond the name, so these conditions come from warm lowland Caribbean climate and the habits of weedy tropical Oxalis.

Where it grows wild

Likely a herb of open, disturbed ground, roadsides, garden beds and forest edges, as its weedy spread elsewhere suggests. Treat it as a plant of bright, warm, frequently moist soil rather than deep forest.

No wild records carry an elevation; the climate sites sit between sea level and about 700 m, so it is best treated as a lowland plant.
