Procumbent Yellow-sorrel Oxalis corniculata
Native from Mexico to Peru and the Caribbean Islands, but widely naturalised throughout much of the world. A creeping plant that can cover extensive areas of ground. Leaves may be green but more often the entire plant (except the flowers) is flushed deep reddish-purple. Green-leaved plants can be difficult to tell from Least Yellow-sorrel but flowers have all 10 stamens with anthers (look closely as five are more prominent from a distance) and the flowers are typically in clusters of two to eight (though the flowers not all opening at once).
