It can't be...

O. obtusa - bracts not opposite.
O. heterophylla - leaflets not bifurcate, bracts not opposite.
O. recticaulis - sepals not right.

Can't think of any other possible Oxalis that flowers this time of year...you'd ideally need the bulbs to show if this is O. glabra. If the bulb is less than 10mm long, then this is definitely O. glabra...

I find Oxalis rather

I find Oxalis rather difficult to photgraph - sorry - I suppose its because they're so small and it's difficult to get down there.
Not much chance of getting back there to get a bulb either I'm afraid - I'll check if I have any other photos

lots of pics coming!

Relax: there are probably going to be lots of duplicates from the Elandsberg Bioblitz- so we can cross-refer!
