Oxalis pusilla Jacq.

Small, slender, 2-10 cm high, minutely pubescent or almost glabrous, the stem shortly exserted. Bulb small, ovoid, acute at the apex, less than 1 cm long, with smooth dark brown tunics. Rhizome short, producing almost sessile bulbils. Stem slender, rigid, 0-5-2 or even 3 cm long, never leafy. Leaves usually 6-10, terminally congested: petioles 2 to 3 times as long as the leaflets: leaflets 3, sessile, linear or linear-cuneate, 3-8 mm long, emarginate, with 2 minute apical calli. Peduncles terminal, 1-fld., 0-5-6 cm long, shorter than or twice as long as the leaves, with 2 callus-tipped alternate bracts near the apex. Sepals lanceolate, never acuminate, 3-5 mm long, always with 2 small reddish apical calli. Corolla 0-6-2 cm long, white or pale rose, with a widish funnel-shaped pale yellow tube, rarely with a purple eye in the throat: laminae of the petals obovate, tapering to a cuneate claw, often with a rosy outer margin beneath. Filaments, the longer gibbose or shortly toothed, glabrous or sparsely glandular-pilose. Ovary pubescent on the upper half, the chambers 2-5-ovuled. Seeds without endosperm.
