Oxalis fergusoniae T.M.Salter

Dwarf, stemless, glandular. Bulb small, narrow-ovoid, beaked at the apex, sometimes tortuous, usually longitudinally ridged, with rough blackish-brown tunics; bulbils often aerial, very numerous, pale, clustered in the leaf-axils. Rhizome short. Leaves few, imbricate rather than rosulate; petioles 2-8 mm long, rarely longer, sparsely glandular-pilose, broadly dilated below the basal articulation; leaflets 3, sessile, rotund, with black calli along the anterior margin, glandular-ciliate, with large epidermal cells, conspicuously impresso-punctate on both faces when dried, the medial 1-2.5 mm long, 1-3 mm broad, sometimes slightly retuse at the apex, the lateral oblique, a little smaller. Peduncles 1-fld., usually 3-6 cm long, clothed with short pluricellular capitate hairs, with 2 minute distant alternate bracts on the upper part. Sepals oblong, acute, 2.5-4 mm long, glandular-pilose and ciliate, with 2 conspicuous red converging apical calli. Corolla 1.5-1.7 cm long, rose or white, with a rather widely funnel-shaped yellow tube; petals cuneate, slightly attenuate to the base, rounded at the apex, 7-8 mm broad, glandular-pilose and ciliate on the outer margin. Filaments, the shorter 2.5-4.5 mm, the longer 4-6.5 mm long, sparsely glandular-pilose, shortly toothed. Ovary, on the upper half, like the styles densely pluricellular-pilose, the chambers about 8-ovuled.
