Dear Robin, Andrew, and David, Does anyone know the identity of B. Bayer who wrote the Oxalis descriptions in Cape Plants? I don't have the name of the person who was doing the research on Oxalis in South Africa so I am curious about the source of the information in this book. Sometimes people use their own information and other times they use information from other books. It sounds like the description in Cape Plants is really different for this species than what Salter has written. And the picture from Andrew was from the Missouri Botanical Garden which you usually trust for South Africa, but perhaps it should only be for certain families. It makes me wonder how much I can trust Cape Plants. Here is what was written about Oxalis tomentosa in Cape Plants. Under Peduncle 1 flowered, leaves usually 4 or more foliolate (a contradiction already) "tomentosa L.f. Vingersuring Densely silky hairy acaulescent geophyte. Leaves trifoliolate, silky hairy, leaflets 10-20 oblong-cuneate. Flowers white with yellow tube. Apr.-June. Grassy flats and slopes, 75-150 m, NW, SW (Clanwilliam to Cape Peninsula)." I have found a picture in the West Coast field guide so will use the information from it to change the wiki. Thanks all. Mary Sue
