Introduction '''''Oxalis latifolia''''' is a species of flowering plant in the woodsorrel family known by the common names '''garden pink-sorrel''' and '''broadleaf woodsorrel'''. It is native to Mexico and parts of Central and South America.
Description Leaf detailThis is a perennial herb growing from a system of small bulbs and spreading via stolons. There is no stem. The leaves arise on long petioles from ground level, each made up of three widely heart-shaped leaflets about 4.5 centimeters wide. The inflorescence is an array of several flowers, each with five pink petals (some varieties have white flowers).===Invasive species===It is known on most other continents as an introduced species and a noxious weed and invasive species, as it infests many types of agricultural crops. In south-eastern Australia, it is found in gardens, on roadsides, disturbed sites and is most likely a garden escape. It is spread by conveyance of soils containing the plant’s bulbils, as well as by runoffs, ants, and by larger animals like dogs and birds.
