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 tenuipes:
From the Latin tenuis = ‘thin' or 'fine' or 'slender’ and pes = ‘foot’; frequently referring to the flower stalk
