|discussion=<p><i>Oxalis violacea</i> in the flora area is native to the eastern United States, reaching westward as far as the line of states from North Dakota to Texas; it is apparently non-native in Oregon and Wyoming, if those plants are correctly identified. Plants identified by M. F. Denton (1973) as <i>O. violacea</i> and those considered to have affinity to that species from Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico are identified here as <i>O. latifolia</i> and <i>O. metcalfei</i>.</p>
