Oxalis inaequalis Weintroub |
Oxalis inaequalis is a bulb-forming species of flowering plant in the wood sorrel family.[2] It is native to South Africa's Cape Provinces.[3][4] Each plant produces a rosette of up to 70 succulent leaves, which occasionally produce aerial bulbs.[2][5] The flowers are yellow and copper-coloured.[2] The sepals are of unequal sizes, hence the specific epithet "inaequalis", which is Latin for "unequal".[6][7]
