[Wikipedia] Range, Description, Subspecies: Claytonia rubra is a species of wildflower in the family Montiaceae known by the common names redstem springbeauty and erubescent miner's lettuce. It is native to western North America from southwestern Canada to the United States of America extending from The Black Hills and western slopes of the Rocky Mountains to the Cascade and Coast Range, Ochoco and Wallowa Mountains south to the Warner Mountains, Yolla Bolly Mountains, and Sierra Nevada and Transverse Ranges [Mt. Pinos and Mt. San Gorgonio], where it is found in coniferous forests and shrublands.[1] Some individuals may overwinter as biennials. There are also leaves on the stem which may be rounded or squared and sometimes fuse together to create a bowl around the stem. The herbage is red or pink in color at all stages of development.
