Hi I have a white form of O. obtusa which is strongly fragrant, other O. obtusa clones are faintly or not fragrant. O lichenoides and O. dregei are also fragrant. Interresting to note that the three I list, as well as O cathara, and the "O. fragrans", are all white flowering species. Maybe something worthwile to check out if other white flowering species are also fragrant, and if other darker Oxalis shares this trait.
