Today saw some green oxalis. A plant that I had for years thought was a
species of clover. Anyway, was wondering if it is nitrogen fixing as real
clover or alfalfa or trefoil.

If this is any consolation, Oxalis always crops up in discussions on the
nature of Ireland's "shamrock"

No, dear. Only legumes & certain other plants harbor nitrogen fixing bacteria.
Oxalis weeds have no redeeming features.
