|discussion=<p><i>Oxalis florida</i> is recognized by its mostly erect stems, thin stems and peduncles (compared to other species), sparsely strigose cauline vestiture of relatively short, slightly curved hairs, rudimentary stipules, and relatively small flowers with petals that usually lack red lines proximally. It is a species primarily of the Atlantic states and Gulf coast, but it also occurs in Arkansas, Louisiana, southwestern Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas, apparently disjunct westward from its main range.</p><!--
--><p>Intermediates between <i>Oxalis florida</i> and <i>O. colorea</i> apparently occur where their ranges come into contact. According to G. Eiten (1963), <i>O. florida</i> intergrades with <i>O. dillenii</i> in forming intermediate homogenous populations as well as hybrid swarms. Eiten treated <i>O. florida</i> as <i>O. dillenii</i> <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> filipes</i>, but D. B. Ward (2004) noted that the differences between <i>O. florida</i> and <i>O. dillenii</i> are appreciable and intermediates seem few. K. M. Wiegand (1925) observed that <i>O. florida</i> and O. filipes have the appearance of hybrids between <i>O. stricta</i> and either <i>O. dillenii</i> or <i>O. corniculata</i> but that their absence in much of the region where the possible parents both occur argues against this hypothesis.</p>
