Notes |
| Bayer (1993) included this species, as well as nine other species, under Oxalis pardalis Sond., creating a large species complex. Oxalis experts disagree with this lumping (K.C. Oberlander pers. comm. 2012) and advise that this species should still be recognized, but it is in need of further study. |
