OXALIDACEJi. 

 The Oxalis Family. 



% Oxalis cernua. Thunbg. 



A common and rather pretty weed in the garden. 



A native of the Cape of Good Hope but since 1806 

 spread over all the Mediterranean regions. Curiously 

 enough the plant is not known to produce seeds in 

 this region and can only he propagated by its roots. 

 The short styled form alone exists here. 



Besides the plant is so perfectly acclimatized, that 

 it also changed its flowering season according to its 

 new home, that is from Winter to Spring, whilst 

 in Sth. Africa it flowers in July. The sam.e is the 

 case with many Aloes cultivated in the garden. 



Also a form with double flowers is occasionally 

 found.
