There are two taxa Oxalis corymbosa DC., 1824 Oxalis debilis Kunth, 1822 There are some authors who follow Lourteig, 1980 who treated these two as two different varieties of same species. Since O. debilis is earlier published name so it gets priority and as such O. debilis Kunth becomes O. debilis Kunth var. debilis, and O. corymbosa becomes O. debilis Kunth var. corymbosa (DC) Lourgeig, 1980
I am following the treatment by G. L. Nessom (December, 2009) who thinks there is no need to treat them as two different varieties as there is no reliable character except distribution of oxalata crystals. So both are treated simply as O. debilis. His work is most authentic recent treatment of the genus. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
