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 stokoei:
Named in honour of T. P. Stokoe (1868-1959), one of the most famous Mountain Club of South Africa members. A comprehensive eponymous biography is written by Peter Slingsby.
