'''''Oxalis corniculata''''', the '''creeping woodsorrel''', '''procumbent yellow sorrel'''<ref name=BSBI07>{{BSBI 2007 |access-date=2014-10-17 }}</ref> or '''sleeping beauty''', is a somewhat delicate-appearing, low-growing [[herb]]aceous [[plant]] in the family [[Oxalidaceae]].

It is a small [[Vine|creeping]] type of woodsorrel that tends to grow well in moist climates.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite journal |last1=Lubna |last2=Asaf |first2=Sajjad |last3=Jan |first3=Rahmatullah |last4=Khan |first4=Abdul Latif |last5=Lee |first5=In-Jung |date=2020-07-23 |title=Complete Chloroplast Genome Characterization of Oxalis Corniculata and Its Comparison with Related Species from Family Oxalidaceae |journal=Plants |language=en |volume=9 |issue=8 |pages=928 |doi=10.3390/plants9080928 |issn=2223-7747 |pmc=7464629 |pmid=32717796 |doi-access=free }}</ref> It resembles the common yellow woodsorrel, ''[[Oxalis stricta]]''.
