that would be oxalic
acid, found in the canes of the Dieffenbachia --a common house plant--also known as dumb cane and Mother-in Law plant.

Wood sorrel is an Oxalis as is the Shamrock (not the cow-craved, bovine-beloved clover).
They also contain Oxalic acid. (Perhaps that's obvious)
Oddly enough I've just finished making up a batch of Oxalic acid reagent!!? No house plants were harmed in the process. (A batch of dandelion wine might have been more fun though)
