Oxalis bifurca G.Lodd.

Perennial herb with erect slender stems 15–30 cm high; bulb conical or ovoid-conical, acute, 4–6 cm long, tunic smooth, dark brown; rhizomes with amplexicaul, cuspidate scales. Indumentum silky-pubescent, sometimes with glandular hairs admixed. Stipules inconspicuous, tapering into petiole. Leaves cauline and/or tufted on short branchlets, or terminal and congested, 3-foliolate; petiole 5–40 mm long, as long as leaves or exceeding leaves; leaflets subsessile, linear, the lobes divergent, bifurcate to the middle or beyond, cuneate-attenuate at the base, 5–8 mm long, 2–3 mm wide, obtuse lobe apices, the upper surface glabrous, the lower surface silky-pubescent, obscurely dotted all over with faint reddish brown streaks which darken in drying. Inflorescences axillary on the upper part of the stem, 1-flowered; peduncles longer than leaves. Bracts situated in the upper part of the pedicel, linear, 2–3 mm long. Sepals lanceolate or linear lanceolate, 4–6 mm long, often silky-pubescent, with several elongate calli towards the apex. Petals subcuneate, 18–25 mm long, pink, yellow at base, pubescent. Filaments to 5.5 mm long, pubescent in the upper part, sometimes with short teeth. Capsules not developed in Australia.

In New South Wales the species has been collected from a cemetery at Campbelltown, where presumably a garden escape. No habitat information was given in the label notes on the Victorian collections, other than that the plants were growing wild at Little River Railway Reserve.
