General Species Information:
Found in the Flinders Ranges, Adelaide Hills, Coastal Areas and possibly elsewhere
The latin name is actually spelt Oxalis pes-caprae, but our database can't handle the '-' within a name. It's the first time we've come across this and in time will try and fix it.
It's spread throughout the State, generally seen in more moist areas. eg in the Murray Mallee it's along the Murray River, we just haven't bothered to photographed it yet.
