Redwood sorrel (Oxalis oregana) is a ground cover underneath Coast Redwoods. It has clover-like leaves with purple undersides and pink flowers. It is one of the most common plants in the understory of redwood forests. It is named because of its high content of oxalic acid which is mildly poisonous, and was first discovered on the coast of Oregon resulting in Oxalis Oregana.
