|discussion=<p>Collections of <i>Oxalis latifolia</i> from trans-Pecos Texas and eastern New Mexico were mostly identified by M. F. Denton (1973) as O. alpina and <i>O. drummondii</i>. <i>Oxalis latifolia</i> in the narrow sense (type from Campeche, Mexico), with somewhat angular leaflets, occurs in Mexico as far north as Veracruz, San Luis Potosí, and Tamaulipas. The northern populations tend to have more rounded leaflets and perhaps may be better identified by a different name, but they are neither O. alpina (with bulblet clusters) nor <i>O. drummondii</i> (with three-nerved bulb scales).</p><!--
--><p>M. F. Denton (1973) observed that <i>Oxalis latifolia</i> probably consists of several races and perhaps hybrids with other species. A. Lourteig (2000) recognized four subspecies of <i>O. latifolia</i>. Her concept of <i></i>subsp.<i> latifolia</i> restricted it to South America and the West Indies (even though the type was collected in Mexico); subsp. schraderiana (Kunth) Lourteig is entirely South American; and subsp. vespertilionis (Zuccarini) Lourteig occurs in montane Mexico south to Guatemala. She recognized subsp. galeottii (Turczaninow) Lourteig as occurring from Mexico into the United States. In contrast, most others have treated O. galeottii Turczaninow as a distinct species of central and southern Mexico, broadly sympatric with <i>O. latifolia</i>.</p>
