Species of shrubs in the wood sorrel family From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oxalis fruticosa is a species of shrub in the family Oxalidaceae. It is native to eastern Brazil.[3][4] Unlike most other wood sorrels, it has a woody stem and broad, lanceolate, leaf-like blades. The leaf-like structures originate as leaf stalks with three leaflets that later fall off.[4]
