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 luederitzii:
Named after either the town or Franz Adolf Eduard Luderitz (1834-1886) after whom the Namibian town of Luderitz is named. Franz was a German merchant and pioneer.
