Oxalis copiosa F.Bolus

Stemless, glabrous or sparsely villose, 6-14 cm high. Bulb oblong-ovoid, acute, about 2 cm long; tunics rough, conspicuously vertically ridged, very pale brown. Rhizome rather long, with numerous pale membranous scales, producing pale brown sessile rostrate bulbils in the scale axils. Leaves rosulate, very numerous; petioles up to 8 cm (often 2-5 cm) long, widely dilated, submembranous and conspicuously nerved below the articulation; leaflets 3, very broadly obcordate, sub-bilobed, the lobes rounded at the apex, or subobreniform, tapering cuneately at the base, 3-6.5 mm long, 6-12 mm broad, entirely glabrous or sparsely villose below and ciliate, impresso-punctate when dried, ecallose. Peduncles 1-2-fld., often in the same plant, 3-10 cm long; bracts linear, opposite, callose towards the apex; pedicels 1-2.5 cm long. Sepals lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, 6-7 mm long, submembranous, usually with 2 converging apical calli. Corolla 1.6-2.4 cm long, yellow, with a rather short broadly funnel-shaped tube; petals subcuneate, slightly attenuate into a short claw, rounded at the apex. Filaments, the shorter 3.5-5.5 mm, the longer 5.5-8.5 mm long, very sparsely glandular, shortly dentate, the longest well exserted from the corolla tube. Ovary pubescent towards the apex; chambers about 15-ovuled; styles pubescent below, the longest glandular-pilose above. Capsule oblong, up to 1.2 cm long, exserted from the calyx. Seeds endospermous.
