A low plant in patches, with 3 heart-shaped leaflets on each leaf and 1 funnel-shaped, white or rose-pink flower at end of each stalk; leaf and flower stalks both about the same length and attached to the plant at ground level. This species forms lush, solid, inviting carpets on the cool floor of coastal redwood forests. The sour juice is characteristic of this genus, and gives the genus name, from the Greek oxys (“sour”). A similar species in the same general region and habitat, Great Oxalis (O. trilliifolia), has 2 or more flowers on a stalk. Description from wildflower.org
