User's notes

This small yellow flowered plant is common locally. It can be found in shady spots or happily growing in full sun. I’ve heard it called creeping oxalis. It does drop roots from its nodes as it expands. The leaves are suggestive of oxalis, or clover.

Hi @Tapirlord ,
Can you advise if this is an Australian native?
Thanks,
MazzV

I think it is more likely to be the native O.rubens or O.radicosa, but it could be O.corniculata which is exotic
