Ambiquous Common name nomination

My nomination is Bermuda Buttercup, the name used for Oxalis pes-caprae
which is native to South Africa, not Bermuda. It is yellow it is true, but
buttercup is a common name often used in connection with some Ranunculus
species which further illustrates one of the problems of using common names
as more than one genus can go under the same name.
