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 schaeferi:
Named after Dr Fritz Schafer (1881-1930), a medical practitioner on the Keetmanshoop-Luderitz railway line in Namibia and in the diamond fields until 1914. An amateur plant collector, he especially collected in the Klein Karas area of Namibia.
