Violet woodsorrel (Oxalis violacea syn. Ionoxalis violacea (L.) Small, Oxalis violacea L. var. trichophora Fassett, Sassia violacea (L.) Holub) is a perennial plant native to the United States. Similar in appearance to small clovers such as the shamrock, the plant bears violet colored flowers among three-parted leaves having heart-shaped leaflets. Wood sorrel emerges in early spring from an underground bulb. All parts of the plant are edible; flowers, leaves, stems and bulb.
