What I thought could be a Nodding Saltbush (Einadia nutans) is most likely Berry Saltbush (Atriplex semibaccata). The oxalis was being smothered by the saltbush and looks a bit scrawny. I think that, because it was so small I think that it had been trampled on so I have decided to protect it with mesh and a few overlapping pieces of wood.
There is a sea of oxalis here. I intend pulling off the tops until I weaken it enough for the plants to gain strength. The saltbush is the first to undergo this treatment.
