'''Creeping Woodsorrel''' (''Oxalis corniculata''), also called '''Procumbent Yellow-sorrel''' or '''Sleeping Beauty''', resembles the [[Common Yellow Woodsorrel]] (''O. stricta''). It is a somewhat delicate-appearing, low-growing, [[herb]]aceous [[plant]] in the family [[Oxalidaceae]]. It has a narrow, creeping stem that readily roots at the [[node (botany)|node]]s. The trifoliate [[Leaf|leaves]] are subdivided into three rounded leaflets and resemble a [[clover]] in shape. Some varieties have green leaves, while others, like ''Oxalis corniculata'' var. ''atropurpurea'', have purple. The leaves have inconspicuous [[stipule]]s at the base of each [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]]s.
