Abstract-The presence of crystals of various shapes and size are common in the ground cells of mid-rib among the four different species of Oxalis. Crystals were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. For aqueous extraction of crystals plant petioles and leaves were used. The studies indicate that dietary oxalate crystals are harmful, but by the ethnomedicinal information; crystals may be used for mankind as Omniderm cream or gel for various external uses.
