CREEPING OXALIS

Creeping oxalis ( Oxalis corniculata) is a perennial weed with a prostrate growth habit. It can be identified by its light green heart-shaped leaves, very similar in appearance to clover. The flowers are small, about 3-4mm in diameter and bright yellow in colour containing five petals. When seed pods mature they dry out and explode, causing the seed to spread. Plants contain a tap-root which can make it very difficult to control.

Soursob (Oxalis pes-caprae) is a significant environmental weed in Victoria and South Australia and an environmental weed in Western Australia and New South Wales.

Widely naturalised, particularly in the southern parts of Australia. It is common in eastern and southern New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, south-eastern South Australia and south-western Western Australia. Also occasionally naturalised in south-eastern Queensland and the southern parts of the Northern Territory, as well as in other parts of New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia.
