Hi Andrew, That foliage looks an awful lot like Oxalis stipularis, which is a South American species. It grows very freely during summer, multiplies very well, and can sit dry in a pot for winter. One would need to see flowers to confirm the ID, and there are lots of other oxalis in South America, but O. stipularis is definitely a possibility.

The whole place was humid and on the nearly vertical rock walls grew any plants, notably cacti, begonias, bromeliads and ferns. In this shot the ebutia is R. jajoiana but I do not know what the unusual bulbous bloom is. mall pieces of debris from the canyon walls are noticeable. At first bservation I even thought that with the humidity and lichens present it ight be a moss ally! But, no, it is not. So, I call upon you experts of hose parts to render advice.
