Oxalis bowiei, Bowie's wood-sorrel,[1][2] red-flower woodsorrel,[3] or Cape shamrock, is a plant from the genus Oxalis, which is native to what was Cape Province and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It has also been naturalized in Australia.[1]

It is named after James Bowie who collected plants for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew at the beginning of the 19th century.[2]

Its flowering stems may be a foot or more in height and are produced continuously for a considerable length of time during summer.[4]
