Acceptable Oxalis

Christiaan,

I would greatly appreciate seeing an explication of the rootstocks of
these plants. I have one or two Oxalis that never proliferate and
essentially are unchanged after over ten years of cultivation. I
wonder about these in terms of acting like bulbs, and also, if they
replace themselves each season they are better considered as something
other than bulbs. If most of the living tissue in the structure is
*stem tissue* rather than leaf bases or modified stipules, combined
with annual replacement, then they would have to be corms, no?
