Dear Mary Sue and Uli: Having finally found time to look up Salter, I think the mystery Oxalis is indeed O. namaquana. The one I have been listing under that name came to me from someone in South Africa who identified it as O. namaquana, but I now feel it is another form of O. flava. From Salter: "leaflets 3, shortly petiolulate, linear or oblong, tapering at the base, incised at the apex, sometimes condupilicate, 1.2-2.7cm long, 2-7mm broad..." The flowers are described as bright yellow, although he doesn't mention the red edging on the underside, but Salter often omits details like this. The leaves seem to identify it as O. namaquana. The bulb is supposed to be about 2.5cm long, with thin blackish tunics which can be pale brown on less mature bulbs.
