Gleason, H.A. and Cronquist, A. 1991 | Habitat | A number of species in the Oxalis genus occur in Myaamia lands, some in eastern (i.e. O. grandis, O. illinoensis), some in western (e.g. O. albicans), some in both (i.e. O. corniculata, O. stricta). These species occur in various habitats, often moist, and often as a weed. Most Oxalis species in Myaamia lands are native, although there are several non-native species found throughout North America and Canada. The most common native Oxalis in Myaamia lands is Oxalis stricta, common yellow oxalis. |
