Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Oxalidaceae

Perennial herbs, often cormous or tuberous-rooted, with 6 genera and some 950 species, mainly from South Africa and Central and South America.  [FNSW].  Represented in the Hortus by ornamental species popular in the Victorian era.  Several have become naturalised in the gardens and locally, including one species, Oxalis pes-caprae, which is a major weed in Australia.
