Oxalis europaea

Oxalis europaea, commonly known as wood sorrel, is a perennial plant that thrives in various habitats across North America and Asia, including regions such as Alabama, Arkansas, British Columbia, China, Colorado, Connecticut, and many other states and provinces. This light-loving species can be found growing in dry to moist conditions, typically in sandy or medium-textured soils. Known for its edible leaves, which are often used in salads or as a garnish, this plant also has ornamental value due to its distinctive clover-like foliage. One of its notable features is the ability to fold its leaves when touched, a characteristic reminiscent of other members of the Oxalidaceae family.
