Texas, 80 miles North of Austin. Didn't want to molest the forage, grasses and pasture thread so posted here.
I've never let it get very big so I don't know what the seeds or any flowers look like. An almost woody stem, very tough orange colored dicot (taproot) root. most plants have the trident shaped 'limbs'. (3 limbs come off taproot right about the ground) Leaves resemble tiny clover. Drought and heat tolerant! It's everywhere here but no one seems to know what it is or how to kill it without also killing everything else big enough to die. Many thousands of them in my yard. I don't think it's Oaxilis or any of the Sorrels. Leaves aren't right.
No thorns but in dry times the vertical limbs will pierce your skin on the bottom of your foot.
What it is?
