|discussion=<p><i>Oxalis colorea</i> is common in southeastern Alabama, Mississippi, and probably the northern half of Georgia; outliers apparently occur in a wider area toward the north and northeast. Scattered variants from widely scattered localities in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, from within the geographic range of <i>O. colorea</i>, have the habit and prominently red-lined petals of <i>O. colorea</i>; stem hairs are relatively long but are antrorsely oriented, as in <i>O. florida</i>.</p>
