mystery oxalis


Hi all,
   i was out in my garden today and noticed a different type of
"oxalis". Im not sure if it is one or closely related. You may be able
to help!
Desc:  same leaves as Oxalis pes caprae, except theyre all green and
only about 1/2 inch wide. Carried on reddish wiry stems. These stems
also creep along the ground and root. It doesnt grow like they typical
oxalis however. and its also continuing to live while the regular weedy
oxalis is dormant. Its flowers are VERY small, only a little over 1/4
of an inch wide. there are also very small reddish dots at the bases od
the petals where they join (its a little hard to imagine). has the
regular five petals. This one also forms seed pods redily. It doesnt
seem to go rampant like its cousins. 

its not very interesting, but much less of a pest than regular oxalis!
Anyone know what i have?
