This species of oxalis has dark green leaves and seems to pod much earlier than our common variety.

To ID this to species level, I need to know what colour the flowers were, and need to see field notes or good closeups of a stem, showing the direction and length of the hairs, and where a leaf joins the stem, showing a stipule (outgrowth, usually leafy) if present.
