Flora of Chakrata: Oxalis dehradunensis from Mussoorie Chakrata Motor Marg: Oxalis dehradunensis from Mussoorie Chakrata Motor Marg Sorry for poor picture Quality. These pics were shot by my old Nikon coolpix L15 Hotshot digital Camera A few more good pics of same plant same area Sir these are from my last years visit to Chakrata While processing my photographs I discovered that this may not be Oxalis dehradunensis which has much larger light green spotted leaves and pinkish flowers, a plant uploaded by ...: https://indiantreepix.googlegroups.com/attach/d9627cc213e422b9/Oxalis... This plant of yours may be Oxalis latifolia
I always wondered about the differences between the two. I always thought the colour spots as just a variation I think we did find Oxalis dehradunensis in Chakrata near our rest house. It was not in flowering. It did not have dots as in ... plant, but the larger, flat light coloured leaflets were distinctive. I am uploading the same. Now for a shock. The Plant list considers this as unresolved name. I thought of doing some research. According to IPNI record Raizada did not describe it as new species, he published it as new name in Duthie's Fl. Upper Gangetic Plain, etc. v, 37 (1976), nom. nov. and the replaced name in the record is shown as Oxalis intermedia A. Rich (can some one locate the original book to find why he rejected O. intermedia A. Rich?). According to The Plant List O. intermedia A. Rich is a synonym of Oxalis latifolia. So both... conclusion and mine don't seem to differ much, if finally O. dehradunensis turns out to be a synonym of O. latifolia. Perhaps going through the description in Herbaceous Flora of Dehradun, and perhaps Flora of Indian Desert (where I think I saw this species described) or any recent Flora should help. Yes Sir I have that Supplement vol by Raizada will upload two pages in minutes here are pages I have seen the paper now. So Oxalis intermedia A. Rich is surely the basis of O. dehradunensis and obviously both are synonyms of O. latifolia as per The Plant List. So both our plants belong to same species. Further final discussions as at efi thread: Raizada's new name (Nom nova) O. dehradunensis for O. intermedia A. Rich was based on early entry in IPNI considering 1845 (1842) as its date of publication as against 1841 for O. intermedia Steud., 1841. As it appears the date of publication of A. Rich. 1841 and opposite to what Raizada considered, Biophytum intermedium, 1839 antedates the binomial given by Steudal and is correctly Biophytum intermedium Wight, 1839 and not (Steud.) Wight, and citation for Oxalis intermedia is accordingly (Wight) Steud. and not O. intermedia Steud. Recent studies have shown that Oxalis intermedia A. Rich. and O. latifolia are two distinct species, and not synonyms. This is supported by recent publications such as CONABIO. 2009. Catálogo taxonómico de especies de México. 1. In Capital Nat.

Yes edible- as per efi site link: https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/o/oxalidaceae/oxalis/oxalis-latifolia Taking this as Oxalis latifolia subsp. latifolia for the time being, as per discussions at Balsaminaceae, Geraniaceae and Oxalidaceae Week: Oxalidaceae- The fate of Oxalis dehradunensis- it is Oxalis intermedia-GS-4 Balsaminaceae, Geraniaceae and Oxalidaceae Week: Biophytum reinwardtii (Zucc.) Klotzsch: No correct images. .............. Thanks ... for this interesting upload. The week, commencing on March 4, Monday should see interesting activity. I was about to write to you when I saw your this mail. Last year we had an interesting discussion which led us to conclude that Oxalis dehradunensis Raizada is a mere synym of O. latifolia Kunth. As is clear from original publication of Raizada, he suggested this name as new name for O. intermedia A. Rich, 1845 (1842) (non Steud., 1841). According to The Plant List, O. intermedia A. Rich. is synonym of O. latifolia Kunth., and consequently O. dehradunensis should also be its synonym (although as with most other names The Plant List considers O. dehradunensis Raizada as unresolved name: I am going to write to them. The Plant List conveniently ignores O. intermedia Steud., 1841 but it is listed in IPNI (Nomencl. Bot. [Steudel], ed. 2. ii. 240.). According to original publication of Raizada O. intermedia Steud. is a synonym of Biophytum intermedium (Steud.) Wight, but neither The original publication of Wight (I have checked the pdf of Wight's publication), nor FBI, nor The Plant List mention about (Steudel) Wight combination, nor the basionym. All just mention Biophytum intermedium Wight. Could you please throw light on this confusion. Further final discussions as at efi thread: (4 images + pdf) Last year we had detailed discussion on plants uploaded by ... and ..., ultimately concluding on the basis of listing in The Plant List, that it is a synonym of Oxalis latifolia Kunth, 1822 Raizada's new name (Nom nova) O. dehradunensis for O. intermedia A. Rich was based on early entry in IPNI considering 1845 (1842) as its date of publication as against 1841 for O. intermedia Steud., 1841. As it appears the date of publication of A.

Thanks Sir for the Clarification Thanks, ..., That means all species we considered as Oxalis dehradunensis should now be put under Oxalis intermedia. Pl. confirm so that I can make necessary changes in efi site. Yes ... The difference in size of the leaf seems to be very little. What is important to look at in the field is the bulblet... single (Latifolia) Multiple(Intermedia) and the style. Tristylous in latifolia. Am I clear? Hope so. Catalogue of life now gives Oxalis intermedia A.Rich. as a syn. of Oxalis latifolia subsp. latifolia While it (CoL) and POWO give Oxalis dehradunensis M.Bieb.Raizada as an accepted name. Does it has any bearing ? Oxalis richardiana C.R.Babu is give as a syn. of Oxalis dehradunensis M.Bieb.Raizada as per CoL and distribution given is only India. I do not find any specimen of Oxalis dehradunensis M.Bieb.Raizad in GBIF, while there are 1018 specimens of Oxalis latifolia Kunth in GBIF. After pursuing all posts in efi site at Oxalis intermedia and Oxalis latifolia subsp. latifolia, I am inclined to put them all under Oxalis latifolia subsp. latifolia as I hardly find any visible difference between the two. As most of the species have been introduced from outside, than how are we going to have a species like Oxalis dehradunensis M.Bieb.Raizada, with distribution only in India ? It is also not mentioned in eFloras, where only Oxalis latifolia Kunth is mentioned.

O. intermedia which has been noted as O. dehradunensis is found growing in shady places of Ranchi, of Jharkhand state of India during winter season, flowering from the first week of February to the end of the month. Here is the image taken by Dr. M. P. Mishra in Jan 2014. Details about nomenclature of this plant are given in this thread Yes it will produce flowers in spring or early summer. It is a noxious weed in Uttarakhand propagating rapidly by underground tubers.

In my garden in Bangalore I have found similar variety, but with light violate color flowers, the leaves bigger in size and the leaves shoot directly from the bottom, with no "branches". Can it be Oxalis barrelieri: Lavender Sorrel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis_barrelieri) ? Appears to be Oxalis dehradunensis.
