lent,hardy annuals or perennials, Racemes terminal. Leaves 
quite entire; radical ones petiolate, upper usually oppo: 
and sessile, and sometimes connate.  Claytonias are 
easy culture, and suited for certain parts of the 
or wild garden. The tuberous-rooted species. thrive ө

open border in spring, in a rather moist situation.
