చక్రవర్తి కూర (Oxalis stricta)

common yellow woodsorrel /  lemon clover

Wood sorrel, or oxalis, is a medium-sized wild edible weed . The flowers of this plant can be used to obtain yellow, orange, and red to brown dyes. Oxalis, another common name for this plant, literally means "sour" and is named as such due to its oxalic acid content. Many domesticated vegetables, including spinach and broccoli, also contain oxalic acid, which is considered toxic when consumed in large quantities because it inhibits the absorption of calcium. Oxalic acid is not considered a problem when consumed moderately and with a varied diet, however people with gout, rheumatism, arthritis, hyperacidity and kidney stones should avoid it.
