|discussion=<p><i>Oxalis pilosa</i> has been treated as an infraspecific entity within <i>O. albicans</i>, but the two are sympatric in the southwestern United States and although each is variable, there appear to be relatively few unequivocal intermediates. Reports of <i>O. pilosa</i> from Texas apparently were based on misidentifications of <i>O. albicans</i> and perhaps also of <i>O. dillenii</i>.</p>
