 I'm currently growing one species, Oxalis megalorrhiza, (= O. 
 carnosa) a tuberous rooted species from Chile, Bolivia, and Peru. 
 Rather ordinary in leaf and flower, it forms tuberous roots that can 
 be lifted above the soil to give a rather interesting display.  For 
 an  example (not my plant, though) , you can go to:

 The photo is from Gordon Rowley's "Caudiciform and Pachycaul 
 Succulents" (try saying that 3 times in a row after a few beers or 
 your favorite beverage) and I hope I will be forgiven for this 
 blatant copyright infringement.

Now that one is really neat!!!!  I love the bonsai look of it and I 
especially like the caudex look of it....I have just recently started to 
acquire some of the caudiciform plants and find them a great oddity in the 
garden area.  I especially like some of the "ant plants" that Judy Showers 
introduced me to.  I bought a couple of those while in Florida last December 
at Tropiflora.
