Needs taxonomy check

The Rothmaler flora gives O. stricta L. as synonym of O. deppei (Southern Yellow Woodsorrel), making O. fontana the correct name of the Common YWS. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 11:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The word for a flower with male and female parts is "perfect" not "hermaphroditic".

questions and contradictions

Quotes from the article:

Commonly considered a weed of gardens, fields, and lawns, it grows in full sun or shade. 
O. stricta generally requires dry or moist, alkaline soils, preferring sandy and loamy dirt to grow in. It requires well-drained soil and can grow in nutritionally poor grounds. It does not do well in shade.[4]

"Dry or moist"?
"Alkaline soils" - this seems to contradict what is said in the German equivalent of this article which is: "soils must be low in lime content".
"does not do well in shade" seems to contradict what is said above: "grows in full sun or shade" as well as in the introductory paragraph: "It tends to grow in woodlands ...".

A poultice of the plant has been used to treat dry mouth [not in citation given] and swellings.[4]

How should one imagine a poultice to treat "treat dry mouth"?
