Forgive me, but I've lost the original question on the
special oxalis.
Described as a somewhat weedy, creeping-climbing thing
with white flowers.
Posted by, I think, someone in the Bay Area (SF, CA.,
USA).
My two cents, two possibilities:
Oxalis acetosella -- creeping perennial; lvs.
trifoliate, pale green; fls. solitary, white, veined
purple; spring; N. temp. Amer., Eur., Asia.
Oxalis magellanica -- prostrate, stoloniferous,
carpet-forming; lvs. bronze-green, trifoliate; fls.
solitary, 1cm across, pure white; S. Amer., Aus.; "can
become a gdn pest".
