    Oxalis sp., maybe Oxalis squamata.

    Thank you. I usually recognize Oxalis, strange looking leaves, I can see it now but before don't know why I would think more of Convolvulus or even Malva

    Possibly accession 36467-0653-2002, the only Oxalis to ever be accessioned in the trough courtyard (as Oxalis squamata). Looks like it might have resurrected itself, as it was recorded as being dead (and hence the lack of label). I'll inform the curator.
