Herbaceous i)lants, undershrubs, and trees,
containing a large quantity of acid. Some of
the species of Oxalis have large tuberous roots
which are eatable like the potatoe ; some of
the shrubby kinds, as Averrhda Bilimbi, and
Caramhbla, bear very grateful fruit, and are
called in the East Indies lUimbing and Caranibola.
The leaves of some species are so
sensitive that they are included amongst what
are called sensitive plants.
O x A L i s , Linn. From o. xy, s,, acid ; the , le^.Tav es
have an acid taste. Linn. 10, Or. 4, Nat.
Or. OxalidacecE. Most of the plants of this
genus deserve cultivating on account of their
very pretty blossoms, wdiich are produced in
great abundance. The stove, greenhouse, and
frame species, thrive well in a mixture of loam,
peat, and sand ; they should not be watered
after they have done flowering until they
begin to grow afresh. The shrubby kinds
may be increased by cuttings or seeds ; the
herbaceous iibrous-rooted ones by dividing the
plants at the roots, or by seeds ; the bulbousrooted
species by offsets. Most of those
marked greenhouse may be grown in a frame,
only they must be protected from frost in
winter. The hardy species should be planted
in a shady border, where they will grow and
flower very freely. The seeds of the hardy
annual species shoidd be sown in the open
border in spring. 0. Acetosèlla contains pure
oxalic acid, and several species are used in
Brazil against malignant fevers. Synomjmes :
