|discussion=<p><i>Oxalis articulata</i> in the United States commonly has been identified as O. rubra. <i>Oxalis</i> rubra was treated at subspecific rank by A. Lourteig (1982), but subsp. articulata and <i></i>subsp.<i> rubra</i> have essentially the same native range and occur in similar habitats. Lourteig identified both subspecies in the United States, noting in her key that vestiture is reduced and the sepals are broader in <i></i>subsp.<i> rubra</i>. Evidence is weak for recognizing more than a single entity. In the Flora of Panama (Lourteig 1980), she recognized only <i>O. articulata</i>, noting that it is naturalized in other parts of America and in the Old World.</p>
