The '''Oxalidaceae''', or wood sorrel family, is a small family of eight genera of [[herb]]aceous [[plant]]s, [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s, with the great majority of the 900 species in the genus ''[[Oxalis]]'' (wood sorrels). Members of this family typically have divided [[leaf|leaves]], the leaflets showing "sleep movements", spreading open in light and closing in darkness.
The genus ''Averrhoa'', often included in this family, is treated by some botanists in a separate family [[Averrhoaceae]].
