Etymology of Oxalis:
From the Greek oxys = sharp, sour or acid and (h)als = salt. The plant is frequently consumed for its sour taste caused by the oxalic acid, particularly the flowering stalks of O. pes-caprae. In large quantities the oxalic acid inhibits digestion and in stock leads to the condition 'dikpens' or bloated belly.
Etymology of comosa:
From the LatinĀ comosusĀ = 'having long or abundant hairs' or 'with a tuft', 'having many leaves' or 'being leafy'
