TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted name of common woodsorrel is Oxalis montana Raf.,
in the woodsorrel family (Oxalidaceae).  There are no recognized
subspecies or varieties.  Common woodsorrel is closely related to the
European species Oxalis acetosella.  Some earlier authors included
common woodsorrel as a variety of O. acetosella [10].  However, common
woodsorrel currently is recognized as a distinct species.  Two forms
based on flower color are infrequently used [10]:

        O. m. f. montana
        O. m. f. rhodantha Fern.
