Possibly. The photos do not give enough information to be certain. I cannot tell even if the plant is stemless with the leaves all coming out from the top of the root, or if it has a stem. That is the first paragraph in the Plantnet key.

The suggestion via iNaturalist.org is Oxalis articulata. I will investigate when I have implements. O. purpurea was identified in 2017 https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3378059.

It does look like https://keyserver.lucidcentral.org/weeds/data/media/Html/oxalis_articulata.htm because it does not have a yellow centre.

Oxalis purpurea has densely hairy leaf stalks and is single flowered, the flower held barely above the leaves. Oxalis articulata and Oxalis debilis have hairless or sparsely hairy leaf stalks, the inflorescence usually at least 3-flowered, and the flowers are held above the leaves. The key character in both Plantnet and Vicflora distinguishing Oxalis articulata is that it does not produce bulbils while Oxalis debils produces many bulbils. Please comment.
