I'd like to share a picture of O. palmifrons that we found in South Africa on the IBSA tour back in 2011. This was at the top of the Komberg Pass, south of Sutherland in the Northern Cape. This was by far the coldest location we encountered on the trip, and it was *very* windy. Full sun, of course.

One of the resident South African oxalis experts speculated that this population may be polyploid.
