    Oxalis campylorrhiza showing neat anther rings

    The two rings of five yellow stamens each, positioned one above the other in the throat of the corolla and characteristic of Oxalis flowers, can be seen in these flowers of Oxalis campylorrhiza.

    The style, or at least its stigma, is just visible in the centre among the anthers and level with the flaring corolla. The pink outside surfaces of some unopened buds are visible next to the open flowers, as well as the sparse and long shiny hairs on the flower stalk lower down.
