Yellow woodsorrel is distinguished by its delicate, heart-shaped leaves that are grouped in threes, somewhat resembling a clover. It can be identified by its small, bright yellow flowers, each with five petals forming a subtle cup-like shape. The plant typically reaches a modest height, with stems that can stretch up to 15 inches (38 cm), often bending or reclining with maturity. These stems support the alternately arranged leaves and can vary from green to reddish in color. The fruit of yellow woodsorrel is a capsule that explosively dehisces, releasing seeds.
