Oxalis oculifera E.G.H.Oliv.

Dwarf stemless plants 5-15 mm high, aggregated into clumps. Bulb ovoid, 8 x 6 mm, light reddish brown, covered with papery sheaths splitting diagonally in lower part. Rhizome vertical up to 20 mm long. Stem none or very short up to 4 mm long. Leaves 1-9 per plant; petiole 2-20 mm long, sparsely glandular pilose, pinkish; leaflets mostly 3, occasionally 2 or 1, subparallel, 3.0-4.5 x 3.0 mm, semiconduplicate, obliquely subpeltate, basally subinfundibuliform, broadly elliptic to obovate, occasionally oblong-elliptic, apically broadly rounded or slightly emarginate basally rounded, glaucous, adaxially densely papillate, abaxially glabrous, with hyaline margin and inside this a thin orange callose zone, sometimes with scattered small orange callose patches abaxially; petiolule 0.3-0.6 mm long. Peduncle 1-flowered, 20-37 mm long, erect becoming prostrate, markedly glandular pilose when young and short, becoming sparsely so when mature, pinkish; bracts usually absent, sometimes 1 or 2 on upper part of peduncle, filiform or linear up to 0.6 mm long, sparsely glandular pilose. Sepals 1.7-1.9 x 0.7-0.9 mm. adpressed to corolla and joined at base, lobes ovate to broadly ovate with inner ones narrowest, subacute, glabrous and sparsely glandular pilose, with very dark purple marginal zone and orange callose zone just inside that, the rest green becoming reddish. Corolla about 9-10 mm long, broadly salver-shaped, violet-pink with white ring in throat and wine-red tube; petals 5-6 mm wide, obliquely obovate to broadly subspathulate, joined slightly at base, very sparsely glandular pilose abaxially on outer margin, ecallose, papillate adaxially on red zone. Stamens in 3 series, 2 series per plant, the shortest 1.2 mm long, the middle 2.0-2.3 mm long, the longest 3.0-3.5 mm long, all joined for 0.5-0.8 mm at base, the uppermost manifest, the rest included; anthers white with dark purple edges; filaments purplish, sparsely glandular pilose; pollen tricolporate, ellipsoid, in upper and middle anthers white, in bottom anthers yellow. Ovary 0.7-1.0 mm long, ovoid, sparsely glandular pilose in upper half, 1-ovuled; styles in 3 series, the lowest 0.5 mm long, markedly spreading and white, the middle 1.2 mm long and the uppermost series 3 mm long, the latter two series erect to slightly spreading purplish sparsely glandular pilose; stigmas fimbriate, the uppermost and middle series purple, the lower series white.
