    My friend just asked me about his plant.
    It looks somewhat like Oxalis esp. the flowers and the seed pods.
    However, I have not seen such plant before?
    Can anybody help me ID this one?
    BTW, the plant is from Thailand.

    Thank you very much.

    Looks like no Oxalis we have here???. Are there bulblets underneath and a water root that looks like firm jelly. Leaves look wrong. Are they not usually clover like and the plants are low growing clumps?

    Thank you Liz.
    I just got the name from Oxalisgrowers at Yahoo Group.
    It's Oxalis barrelieri.

    Best,

    Thanks Kadai.
    Had a bit of a look and it seems we may not have it which is a good thing :) since we seem to have every other weed known to man
