Mary Sue, I will have extra bulbs and bulbils to share if anyone is interested. This plant, whatever its species, has a very interesting stem and branch structure. It presents a mound like appearance when in full flower. I was hoping someone might have extra oxalis incarnata bulbs to share so I could make a comparison. The bulbils really do look like seed pods. I had not examined the plant stems closely prior to the suggestion that O. incarnata formed bulbils. This just shows how valuable these forums are in exchanging useful information.
