Claytonia (after John Clayton, of Virginia, one of the earliest American botanists upon whose collections Gronovius based the Flora Virginica). Portulacaceae. Spring Beauty. Little smooth succulent herbs sometimes transferred to gardens for their bright flowers.
Perennials with slender, 2-lvd. sts. from a deep, globular corm, and loose racemes of white or rose- colored fls. with deeper veins, appearing among the first wild fls. and lasting only a few days. The genus is characterized by its oval, persistent sepals and 5 stamens. Plants can be secured from dealers in native plants. They can be naturalized in moist places, and do well in half-shady spots at the bottom of a rockery. For C. parvifolia, C. parviflora and C. perfoliata, see Montia.
