Claytonia sibirica is a perennial herb that is native to California, and also found elsewhere in North America and beyond.
[Wikipedia] Range, Edibility: Claytonia sibirica is a flowering plant in the family Montiaceae, commonly known as pink purslane, candy flower, Siberian spring beauty or Siberian miner's lettuce.[1] A synonym is Montia sibirica. It is native to Aleutian Is. and western North America and has been introduced into parts of Europe and Scandinavia.
Much like Claytonia perfoliata, the aboveground portion of the plant can be eaten raw or cooked.[5] Some leaves have a poor taste or aftertaste.[6] (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
