Default Identification: small plant with clover-shaped leaves

Can anyone identify this for me please?

As you can see, the stem - at the moment - is about 10 cms long.
There are three clover-shaped leaves joined at the top of the stem.
Its the seed bundle at the bottom that intrigues (and frightens !)
me.
I suspect it is a "cultivated wild flower" which has become a weed for
me.
Thanks in advance (and sorry if it is obvious . . .)

Certainly Oxalis and it can become a right pain, depends where you are in
the UK, but it is trying to take over a relatives garden in Isleworth
(W.London).
