wood-sorrel (Oxalis spp.; WOOD-SORREL FAMILY [Oxalidaceae]) Low, trailing or erect herbs with small 5-petaled yellow, white, pink, or purple flowers.  Leaves compound, with 3 heart-shaped leaflets.  Oxalic acid, which gets its name from this family, gives the leaves a sour taste.  Oxalis corniculata  is an abundant weed in Wisconsin flower beds.  Other species range from open ground to shady woods, with flowering time dependent on the species.  [094]
