Oxalis Hunt
We have been looking at Oxalis species listed as CR, CRPE and DD. We have allocated some targets to groups but there are a number that occur in areas where we don't have volunteers at the moment.
If you would like to assist, please download these and look for them if you might be they in those areas.
If you meet these, please add them to iSpot together with a SPECIES data form (see http://ispot.org.za/CREW-species-template)
To print the posters, please click on its link below and then save it for printing.

cool!
Are these Dewidine's handiwork?
Only one comment - I highly doubt the localities from Steinkopf and Kamieskroon for O. subsessilis. Are these off Salter specimens?
Oxalis subsessilis
That information was pulled from the CREW database. It was noted that you and Leanne has not found it in that area. But I did not see it written in Salter myself. It is referenced as type locality Salter, 1944. I can send Tony an updated version of O. subsessilis, removing that locality. Just let Tony know whether he should up load it.
Thanks
Oxalis microdonta
This is most likely microdonta - http://ispot.org.za/node/154777 - and Kenneth knows about it.

Yes, I have seen your observation. Hope to do a site assessment when Kenneth does his visit...
Oxalis crispula
I added O.marlothii - http://ispot.org.za/node/255499
Have no in situ picture for O. crispula but the locality is S30.99476 E18.26459, close to Bitterfontein (observed on June 1st, 2010). Have plants in cultivation (actually, I found one photo of non-flowering potted individuals from greenhouse but it is too ugly to be posted on iSpot). Genome size data place this taxon close to O. ambigua / O. pulchella.
Agree with Kenneth that O. subsessilis is not a northern Cape species - I checked some NC localities from databases and at least one seems to be misidentification for O. primuloides.
Would love to see O. albiuscula - have searched for this species repeatedly between 2009-2012 (particularly close to the South River Bridge where Salter placed his locality) but it was in vain. Even Salter mentioned that O. albiuscula only appears in suitable years.
Oxalis subsessilis
Thanks Kenneth and Jan Suda. The locality was incorrect. It is referenced Salter, 1944 which I checked and found no record to that effect.
Hmmmm ...
Two TM Salter and one Salter.
