'''Oxalis oregana''', commonly known as the [[Oregon Oxalis]], [[Redwood Sorrel]], or [[Wood Sorrel]], is a species of [[flowering plant]] in the [[Oxalidaceae]] family. It is native to the [[Pacific Northwest]] region of North America, particularly in the states of [[Oregon]] and [[California]].

== Description ==
'''Oxalis oregana''' is a [[perennial plant]] that grows in the understory of moist, shady forests. It has a creeping [[rhizome]] that allows it to spread and form dense mats. The leaves of the plant are clover-like, with three heart-shaped leaflets that are green on top and purple underneath. The flowers are white to pale pink with five petals and are typically in bloom from April to July.

== Habitat and Distribution ==
'''Oxalis oregana''' is found in the coastal forests of the Pacific Northwest, from northern California to southern British Columbia. It is particularly associated with old-growth [[redwood forests]], where it forms a significant part of the understory vegetation. The plant prefers moist, shady conditions and is often found in the vicinity of streams and creeks.

== Uses ==
The leaves of '''Oxalis oregana''' are edible and have a tangy, lemon-like flavor. They have been used by [[Native American]] tribes in the region as a food source and in traditional medicine. However, they contain [[oxalic acid]], which can be harmful if consumed in large quantities.

== Conservation Status ==
While '''Oxalis oregana''' is not currently listed as threatened or endangered, its habitat in old-growth redwood forests is under threat from logging and development. Conservation efforts are focused on preserving these forests and the unique ecosystems they support.
