    Don't believe it is Oxalis. It looks to be compound pinnate not compound palmate. The petiolules arise from different points on the rachis.

    5/6, from the looks of its flower, is a member of Fabaceae. Check out the genuses Vicia and Dalea - it's either a vetch or a clover.

    Is #4 a kind of Selaginella? But I can't get its scientific term. Anyone knows?

    Is #3 an ID on the tree, or on the plant growing up it? Because I've got no clue on the tree, but the plant looks like one of the small, vining epiphytic aroids.

    Look up Medicago for #5 in your area and see if that fits. Flowers would help a lot.

    Tip - 5 and 6 are the same plant, and there's a flower in the upper lefthand corner of 6. This would seem to confirm your ID.

    Are you sure they are the same plant. The leaves don't look the same to me. Got to go now. Will have to look at it more later.

    6 has a complete leaf while 5 has dissected leaves (Trifoliate). I'd say 5 is either Oxalis, Trifolium or Desmodium?

    5 is probably either Medicago or a yellow flowered species of Trifolium, based on the longer petiolule of the terminal leaflet.

    It looks like the flower on C. compressus and C. alternifolius are finer than yours. It's one of those Aaah! moments too many possibilities for simple i.d. I personally still think C. polystachyos because of how compact the inflorecense on your specimen is.
