DESCRIPTION:
Buttercup oxalis (Bermuda buttercup) is sometimes grown as an ornamental. It has compound leaves, each consisting of three heart-shaped leaflets resembling clover leaves. Flowers are attractive, but are a nuisance when they spread into gardens or shrubs like this juniper (pictured here). Flowers occur singly or in clusters on the ends of slender leaf stalks; each flower has 5 yellow petals. This species closely resembles
woodsorrel but often
grows more upright, has more showy flowers, and reproduces largely by bulbs.

Buttercup Pest Note for more information.
