The
wood sorrel family. Two genera and 570 species. One genus,
Averrhoa, is very small and includes tropical
starfruit (
Averrhoa carambola). The other genus,
Oxalis (above), contains most of this family's species. Many members resemble
clover and are therefore sometimes called
false shamrocks, whereas the taste is similar to
sorrel (
Rumex). Some botanists place
Averrhoa in its own family,
Averrhoaceae.
