oxalis
False clover plant
Oxalis is a large genus of plants commonly called wood sorrel, known for their clover-like leaves and tart, edible foliage.
The leaves often fold down at night or in bright sunlight.
Many species grow as garden ornamentals or houseplants; others spread aggressively as weeds.
The shamrock associated with Ireland is typically an oxalis.
