The stems of wood sorrel are thin, multi-branched, upright or creeping, with roots growing on the creeping nodes. The leaves are basal or alternate on the stem, with 3 leaflets; the stipules are small. Seeds are oval, brown or reddish brown. The flowers are yellow, solitary or several in umbels, axillary. The capsule is long cylindrical with 5 ribs. Wood sorrel usually has 3 leaflets, but occasionally it has 4 or 5 leaflets. When the wood sorrel mutates and appears as an individual with four leaflets, it is called "lucky grass". Legend has it that if a clover has four small leaves, it can make a wish come true.
Among them, the white sorrel is the national flower of Ireland, and the Scouts also use it as their badge. It is a flower dedicated to St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Ireland fought a bloody war with Britain for a long time to gain independence. Therefore, its flower language is - patriotism.
