Flowers

Oxalis articulata, known as pink-sorrel,[1] pink wood sorrel,[2] windowbox wood-sorrel, Chari amilo (Nepal), sourgrass,[3] Netho (khatta) saag (India)[4] is a perennial plant species in the genus Oxalis native to temperate South America.[5] It has been introduced in Europe in gardens and is now naturalized in these areas.

The plant is susceptible to rust (disease due to the fungus Puccinia oxalidis).[6]
