Claytonia (after John Clayton, of Virginia, one of the earliest American botanists). 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. CH
