Oxalis griffithii
A small, stemless woodland Oxalis, 7–25 cm tall, that grows from a scaly rhizome. It is related to wood sorrel and comes from shaded montane forests of the Himalaya, China and Taiwan. It wants cool, humid shade and moist leafy soil, and a cold winter when growth slows or stops.
Where it grows wild
It grows on shaded forest floors and in thickets in broadleaf, mixed and coniferous mountain forest, in moist to fairly dry spots, but always in shade.
The literature gives about 800–3400 m. The records here run 1600–3750 m, with a median of 2700 m.
