The yellow-flowered Oxalis need close inspection to ID to species.

We need to see the fruiting capsules and close ups of the seeds for evidence necessary for confirming the species of *Oxalis*.
And preferably macro–photography magnified close–ups of the heathy stems between the attachments of the leaves showing the patterns and details of the hairs .

Superficial appearance and flowers don't provide enough evidence for identification confirmation – enough for your species suggestion but not confirmation .

Thanks .
