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 densa:
From the Latin densus = 'thick' or 'dense'; this may refer to the arrangement of organs like flowers or leaves that are dense and plentiful, or the plants themselves that are frequent in the landscape
