I have this succulent-leafed oxalis.... I recall
one plant last year, with yellow flowers similar
to O.pes-caprae.

There are two Oxalis in that pot. The reddish leaf in the lower left
belongs to O. corniculata, which we have just discussed. The flowers are
much smaller than those of the one in the upper right. It is wildly
invasive but not difficult to eradicate from pots if you keep pulling. The
problem is it is in so many pots by the time you notice it. It has
explosive fruits that scatter seeds widely.

I've seen the other but can't recall the name right now. I have no doubt
somebody can provide the name. It's not nearly as weedy as O. corniculata.
(In other words, I killed the one just like it that I was trying to grow.)
