Oxalis latifolia is a species of flowering plant in the woodsorrel family known by the common names garden pink-sorrel[1] and broadleaf woodsorrel.

[2] It is native to Mexico and parts of Central and South America.

The leaves arise on long petioles from ground level, each made up of three widely heart-shaped leaflets about 4.5 centimeters wide.
