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 disticha:
From the Greek ‘di’ / ‘di’ meaning ‘two’; and the Greek ‘sticha’ / ‘stichos’ meaning ‘row’.The leaves are in two rows.
