Oxalis dichondrifolia

A low perennial wood sorrel of the south Texas and north-eastern Mexican brush country, with rounded, slightly fuzzy leaflets and yellow flowers. It grows in the light shade of thorn scrub on sandy or caliche soils and copes with hot summers and dry spells. Give it bright, partly shaded conditions and a lean, free-draining soil.
