In the latter, the basal leaves and the upper leaves of the stem, the leaflets are inverted heart-shaped and both sides are pilose. Flower difference: the former is umbel, basal or subbasal, purplish red. The latter is solitary or clustered into umbels, axillary, yellow.

I. blade difference

Oxalis major is the basal leaf, petiole is thin and weak, about 7-10 cm long, base has joint, leaflet is obovate or wide obovate, about 1.5-2 cm long, about 2.5-3 cm wide, apex is blunt, base is wide wedge, surface is smooth and glabrous, back has sparse pilose.

Oxalis can be divided into basal leaves and upper stem leaves, which are alternate. The leaflets are obcordate, smaller than the former, about 4 - 16 mm in length and 4 - 22 mm in width, with both surfaces pilose.
