Hi, I sent a message over the weekend when the list was down and it hasn't come through even though the ibiblio web site says the lists are working again. And it isn't shown in the archives so I'm reposting. Sorry if this gets delivered twice. I received Oxalis bifurca from Ernie De Marie and the BX last year. I like it a lot. I noticed it wasn't on the wiki so I have added photos today. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… In trying to find text to add with it I got very confused. I have an Eastern Cape field guide that describes it as hairless above and flowering August to October. The plants I got from the BX have leaves that are definitely hairy although it looks smooth on top from a distance and it started blooming (oops) in September in the Northern hemisphere. Also I found a flower photo from Cameron taken in habitat in January. The Oxalis checklist has flowering time as June and also states it is glabrous above. The Plant List has this species listed as unresolved. So is this just one of those species that adapts to conditions and even though a summer rainfall species, can be grown on a winter rainfall schedule? Or is the plant that many of us are growing something else? Or could someone have described it first as hairless incorrectly and everyone is just copying that description? Or maybe the hairs just show up with a lens or the hairs on the margins make it look like it is hairy above. I hope some of our Oxalis experts can help sort this out. Thanks. Mary Sue
