Oxalis aquatica; maybe not, but consider these

Oxalis aquatica; maybe not, but consider these

I have seen, Nymphoides species, Romulea aquatica, Spiloxene aquatica in
the wild. Also I have seen Gladiolus tristis doing well in standing water
in the wild. Narcissus jonquilla can be found in streams and N. alcarensis
is in bogs. Most of these are in seasonally wet areas. Crinums,
Hymenocallis and a few cyrtanthus are also from boggy places. One might
think about Rhodohypoxis bauerii that grows year round in high altitude
seepage areas. There are many terrestrial orchids in Africa from seasonal
swamps.

Dear Uli,

I can't find a listing for Oxalis aquatica in my Oxalis checklist either.
When doing some searching I came up with these possible candidates for
aquatica species that might fit as a topic of discussion for this group.

Alpinia aquatica
Commelina aquatica
Cyanella aquatica
Hypoxis aquatica
Ipomoea aquatica
Nymphoides aquatica
Romulea aquatica
Spiloxene aquatica

Does anyone grow any of these or have you seen any of these in the wild?

An IPNI search on Oxalis aquatica comes up blank.
